Navasota J/H Students Earn 'Trailblazer' Designation 
Each summer, Education in Action offers the Lone Star Leadership Academy program to
outstanding Texas 5th - 8th graders. Participants travel to Dallas/Fort
Worth, Austin or Houston/Galveston to develop leadership skills and
experience what they are learning in school through visits to
significant Texas sites. Students that
participate in all three Lone Star Leadership Academy programs (Dallas, Austin
and Houston) over the course of three years earn the 'Trailblazer'
designation. In addition to developing their leadership skills, these students
have supplemented their education by exploring significant Texas sites for a
week in each of three major Texas cities, all before entering 9th
grade. Congratulations to Navasota's 2009 Lone Star Leadership Academy
Trailblazers Bo Meece, Lauren Mosley, and Marlene Vargas from Navasota Junior High School. |
