Top Students from Virginia are Recognized for Academic Excellence

Posted Thursday, May 10, 2007

BALTIMORE Spring 2007 – Special academic awards ceremonies in Virginia this spring will honor the over 1,190 state elementary- and middle school students who distinguished themselves through special testing as among the most academically gifted young students in the country.

These exceptional children earned their opportunity for recognition by participating in the academic Talent Search organized by The Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth. (www.cty.jhu.edu).

Since 1979, CTY has sought the most academically able elementary- and middle school students each year and encouraged their enrollment in CTY’s annual fall Talent Search, open September through November. Students enrolled in the Talent Search go on to test in December or January.

The results of these tests give families a better idea of a child’s academic talents, earn children possible recognition through CTY’s awards ceremonies, and possibly qualify a student for CTY’s summer programs or distance education courses.

Congratulations to the following students from All Saints Catholic School who received state awards in recognition of their outstanding achievement in the testing programs sponsored by Johns Hopkins:

In Grades 2-6: Nicholas A., Gwendolyn B., Alyssa D., Justin D., M., Meredith H., Ryan P., Quentin L., and Madison W.

In Grades 7-8: David F., Nicole G., and C.
