We have our secondUnited States Presidential Scholar winner.
I am now pleased to announce our second (in just six years!!!). Blaine Krauss,from our very own Royal Theater Arts Academy in St. Petersburg, is the 2010 United States Presidential Scholar in the Arts.
Blaine graduated from Gibbs High School on the 18th of June, and is working for BGCS during the summer (thanks to a generous grant/summer internship from our good friends at Bank of America ) and then join the Freshman Class at the Cincinnati Conservatory for the Arts (Ohio). The CCA is one of the most prestigious schools in the world.
Thanks to the staff at the Royal for working so hard to keep Blaine focused during those difficult times. A special thanks to Herbert Murphy, Alex Harris and the Hough Family Foundation. Together we have created success!
Many of you will remember in 2004 our own Matt Morton (Boys & Girls Clubs in Pinellas Park Teen Center ) was a US Presidential Scholarship winner who went onto become a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University. Matt will have his Ph.D. from Oxford in 2011.
We are very proud of Blaine, Matt, and the thousands of children and youth we serve
We have our second United States Presidential Scholar winner.
