CVCHS names high achieving seniors Kyle Metz Grand Altair
Liliana Hernandez Service Altair
2014 GRAND ALTAIR award winner Kyle Metz maintains above a 4.0 GPA. His coursework included several Honors and AP offerings in math and science. Described by his teachers as “thoughtful and attentive to detail in his work, Kyle volunteers his time and effort, not because it is expected, but because of his integrity and commitment to the greater good of the school and community. He demonstrates this in leadership, track and cross country, Senior Men, Link Crew and as a member of the Clayton Arts Academy’s advisory committee. He influences and inspires his peers with his positivity, enthusiasm and confidence.”
THE SERVICE ALTAIR is one of the highest awards given to a graduating CVCHS senior. It is typically awarded to someone who neither suspects nor expects such an honor. When introducing Liliana at the awards ceremony, Catherine Reimer, ASB leadership teacher, said, “She always volunteers to do the most unglamorous jobs, the tasks that no one else wants to do, and she always does it willingly and with a smile. As she was helping plan events like the Senior Women’s fashion show, Air Band and acting as Vice President of the Multicultural Club, she never faltered in her grace and poise as a leader”. Liliana will be attending Chapman University in the fall.
Kevin Dong Scholarship Altair
2014 SCHOLARSHIP ALTAIR, KEVIN DONG, has a 4.5 grade point average. His teachers say he constantly challenges himself by taking multiple rigorous courses from honors to advanced placement while always delivering quality in all of his work. His ingenuity makes working hard look effortless. He has been an asset to the engineering academy. Kevin is an intelligent young man with a quiet demeanor who exemplifies patience in all that he does. At home, he is a devoted brother and a role model to his younger siblings. His parents are very proud of his accomplishments, selfdiscipline and selflessness. This fall he will attend UCLA to study Aerospace Engineering.
Ben Linzey Leadership Altair
LEADERSHIP ALTAIR 2014 Ben Linzey earned the 2014 Leadership Altair award for exemplifying the ASB Leadership ideals of serving the student body, making students feel connected to school and showing initiative. He served on the school’s Link Crew, took rigorous honors and AP classes, excelled in leadership, ran with long distance runners, and played on two varsity teams, a club soccer team, all the while carrying out his duties as student body vice president. His teachers say “Ben does all of this with a positive attitude and a smile.” He will attend Colorado Mesa University, where he has earned a full scholarship.
