 American Eagle Shopping Spree: Academic and Behavioral Incentive (Holly Springs High School: 2013)

Students that were at the top of their class in the beginning of the year (Highest GPA) and showed the best leadership potential with no referrals in their school career were awarded with the American Eagle Shopping Spree for back to school shopping. Four students were chosen and were awarded with a $250 dollar shopping spree each sponsored by American Eagle and Teach for America. I was chosen based on my vision and mission for the students for four of my students in 11th grade to participate in this incentive program.
