May 17, 2017
Commissioner of Education Pam Stewart congratulated students selected for the honor, in a release from the FDOE.
The Florida Department of Education and the Florida Education Foundation will recognize the state’s highest-achieving 11th grade science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) students at the Sunshine State Scholars Conference May 19-20.
The conference, presented by Lockheed Martin, celebrates the accomplishments of Florida’s elite students and provides an opportunity for the state’s colleges, universities and employers to recruit their talents.
Pinellas County scholars recognized as the highest achieving 11th grade
STEM students are Virginia Weaver of Boca Ciega High School, and Andrew
Whigham of Seminole High School.
“It is my hope that during this two-day event, these outstanding scholars will learn more about the higher education and career opportunities we have here in Florida and that they will consider pursuing their dreams in the Sunshine State,” she said.
