Four students, representing each of Westerville’s middle schools, have been nominated for the Ohio Association for Gifted Children’s 2014 Distinguished Student Award. They are:
- Blendon: Emily Kellar
- Genoa: Kendel Seabury
- Heritage: Ema Rennie
- Walnut Springs: Mackenzie Madden
Launched by the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) in memory of an extraordinarily gifted seven-year-old who was senselessly killed in a drive-by shooting while traveling to Italy in 1994, the Nicholas Green Distinguished Student Award is granted to one gifted student in each state for $500. High-ability talented learners must demonstrate excellence and outstanding accomplishment in visual or performing arts, academic achievement, or leadership for consideration.
Only one nominee from Ohio will be submitted to NAGC. The Ohio nominee will be recognized, along with his/her family, at the OAGC Fall Conference. For more information, please visit www.oagc.com or www.nagc.org.
