Daily Herald Academic Teams
We’re pleased today to present our 2007-08
Daily Herald Academic Teams. The teenagers on these pages, both the
winners and the honorable mentions, are some
of the most dedicated and hard-working you are
going to meet. They represent a generation
preparing to take over—and if these students
are any indicator, the future is in good hands. To be named to the Daily Herald Academic
Team requires more than good grades, great test
scores and impressive class rankings—although
those are important factors. These kids see
themselves as having responsibilities that go
beyond their own personal success. They are
goal-oriented, they are curious and they are
confident. If you look at their short resumes, you’ll see
that these teens all have stepped outside themselves
to be of service to others, and they believe
that their future work will serve mankind. The nearly 100 public and private high schools
in our readership area have produced another
bumper crop of outstanding teenagers who are
eager to get out there. We’re proud to introduce them to you. John Lampinen, Editor |
