Several Ernest Ward Middle School students participated in the Duke University Talent Identification Program.

In order to take part in the program, the students must have earned excellent FCAT scores. After meeting the qualification criteria, the students had the opportunity to take either the SAT or ACT college entrance exam. College-bound students do not usually take the SAT or ACT until they are high school juniors.

Dale Brown, Anna Donald and Jeremy Stacey earned state recognition for achieving a score of 20 or higher on the ACT. Other Ernest Ward students participating the Duke University Talent Identification Program were Kent Smith, Jennifer Spears and Courtney Weaver.

“The faculty, staff, and administration at EWMS are very proud of these students for the outstanding achievement,” said Gayle Hanks, Ernest Ward guidance counselor.

    Dale, Jeremy, and I have been friends a good while. We do just about everything together, including achieving our goals. Getting state recognitions was a big shock an a great privilege for us, in my opinion. We’re all gonna make the best of our lives and stay friends doing it. Love ya guys!
