Item 5.1
and multimedia for the recognitions portion of the meeting tonight.
Good evening Madam President, board members and Superintendent Hint.
Tonight we would like to present the top two students from each high school ranked highest academically in their respective
Graduating class to introduce the valedictorian and the salutatorian from Cinco Ranch High School. Please welcome. Mr. James cross
Everybody kind of disappeared on me.
Maybe that means I need to get up.
It was still a little bit like we were the only ones in the room, Dr. Hintz.
Good evening everyone, Madam President, Board members and Superintendent Hintz.
I am really really proud to announce our salutatorian and valedictorian of Cinco
Ranch this evening. We'll begin with our salutatorian and the young lady who is
our salutatorian this year is Miss Tiffany Chin-Yu.
I wasn't sure if Tiffany was going to be able to make it tonight.
her parents are Jin Yu and Audrey Chin Yu. Tiffany is an all-star student leader at Cinco Ranch High
School. She serves as an officer for National Honor Society. Oh wait let me back up her GPA
is 4.7937. Yeah I know and just that's the salutatorian. So in addition to these leadership
roles she's involved with several clubs in and out of school as part of Cinco Ranch Future Business
leaders of America chapter. She's competed at the district, state, national
levels earning awards in database design and application, word processing, business
law, and business calculations. Additionally, she participated in Cinco
Ranch High School's robotics team. I should say nationally ranked robotics
team, academic octathlon team, Science Olympiad state team.
Outside of school, she trained in ballet and jazz at Adamson's Ballet School,
engaged in a variety of art classes ranging from fashion design to digital art.
From the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's Geisel School of Art on a scholarship
awarded by Portfolio Review. Over the summer she took part in Make School
Summer Academy where she learned a program in Swift. Upon completion of the
academy she released her own application on the Apple Store called the Pet
Planner. So pretty clever stuff. Tiffany plans to continue her education at
at Dartmouth College where she hopes to double major
in economics and computer science.
I don't think she spends a lot of time on Netflix.
Oh, Tiffany, you're here, great.
Great.
Are your parents here as well?
Mr. and Ms. Hsu, would you please be recognized?
All right, great, I'm so glad you made it.
All right, our valedictorian at Cinco Ranch this year
years, a young lady named Tricia Mott-Haven. Tricia, are you here? There she is. And her
parents are Raghu Mott-Haven and Swati Mott-Haven. And Tricia is a scholar and musician who will
be attending Princeton University in the fall. As a veteran of the research labs at Stony
Brook and University of Iowa, Tricia takes pleasure in questioning the unknown and challenging
the accepted. I know that because I know Tricia as well. Entering her findings
into competitions like Intel, ISEF, and Siemens. Outside the lab, Tricia enjoys
competing with UIL's science team and organizing activities like science museum
trips, math tutoring sessions, and engineering challenges as president of
the Science National Honor Society, Math Honor Society, and
visionaries and inventors of tomorrow's school clubs. Tricia also takes joy in
providing Facebook tech support to her grandparents.
That's a cool thing.
And in giving back to the community by repairing medical devices
for developing nations through Project Cure.
Growing up in Japan, Tricia contracted the travel bug,
which took her to, among other places, Costa Rica,
where she taught English, instructed sustainable farming practices.
Sounds just like me in the summertime, too.
Her current goal is to travel every continent before she turns 21.
Africa and Antarctica, she's coming for you.
Back at home, Tricia gets involved by influencing public and environmental policy through work
with governing representatives.
I will say this, a little side note, three years ago I stood right here and her older
sister, Serena, was our valedictorian as well.
So something good is happening in that household.
Again, not a lot of Netflix watching, I'm sure.
So it's my privilege to introduce and recognize Miss Trisha Mott-Havan, Cinco
Convention valid

Good evening, Madam President, Board Members, and Superintendent Hint.
It is indeed my honor to be here tonight to bring to you the recognitions from the Texas
Art Education Association's Visual Arts Scholastic Event.
It recognizes exemplary student achievement in the visual arts.
This year from our region in 4 West, 114 students advanced to state and out of those students,
54 were from KDISD.
That specifically represented our district.
So proud of these students.
These works of art have been juried through region, area, and state competition.
While at the state competition, it was announced that there were 32,000 pieces of art entered
across the state this year.
And at the state competition, roughly 6.5% of those students were invited to advance.
So our students were able to participate in this statewide competition and we're extremely proud of them tonight.
41 students at the event received a top state medal for an exemplary rating of 4.
And out of those students, 4 students earned the awarded gold seal medallion this year.
There are only 150 total gold seal medallions awarded and only eight students from our region
received the gold seal medallion.
Of those eight students, four were from Katy ISD.
I'll be happy to introduce those as they come up as well.
