The United States Achievement Academy announced that Rodney Fuentez, of

The USAA has established the All-American Scholar Award Program to offer
deserved recognition to superior students who excel in the academic disciplines.

nationally.
"Recognizing and supporting our youth is more important than ever before
in America's history. Certainly, winners of the All-American Scholar Awards
should be congratulated and appreciated for their dedication to excellence
and achievement," said Dr. George Stevens, Executive Director of the United
States Achievement Academy.
The Academy selects All-American Scholars upon the exclusive recommendation
by teachers, coaches, counselors, and other qualified sponsors. Once awarded,
the students may be recognized by the USAA for other honors.
