Mr. Cotton is a skilled writer with a vivid imagination that I am honored to teach and see what his imagination can illustrate and express. This young man is an excellent student who his peers can look up to and someone who models what an Urban Prep young man should look like.” For Mr. Cotton’s gold tie in Pride, his nominator wrote “ This young man is an awesome candidate for a gold tie. He models the creed exceptionally well. He shows fine examples of integrity and accountability inside and outside my classroom. He does all of his work in my class and is always providing his assistance when he can.

Mr. O’Bryant received his gold tie in Chemistry during the month of November. His nominator wrote, “This young man is dedicated, committed, and focused each day he is in attendance and holds himself to a high level of academic accountability by working to earn and maintain high accuracy grades on activities. He also works hard to contribute to the school community by promoting healthy school culture and facilitating meetings with school clubs and their sponsors. He is seen behind the scenes doing the work that helps create bonds with student-led activities and events. What makes this young man exceptional is when he goes the extra mile to ensure that he demonstrates his understanding of line 13 of the Creed: We have a responsibility to our family, community, and world.”
