Kyla recieves a certificate for her scholarship from Principal Judy Wilson.
Congratulation to John S. Battle High School student, Kyla T., on her recent selection as one of this year's recipients of the University of Virginia's Achievement Award. This award was established in 1985 with the intent of attracting exceptional students from across the Commonwealth of Virginia to the University. The award is based primarily on academic merit, leadership, and citizenship. The Scholarship Committee considers hundreds of applicants for the awards at the same time it considers them for admission. This is a great tribute to Kyla, who has consistently demonstrated academic and personal excellence at John Battle!
