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

9:26 Unknown speaker not human verified

Everybody kind of disappeared on me.

9:29 Unknown speaker not human verified

Maybe that means I need to get up.

9:33 Unknown speaker not human verified

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
