Newport’s Academic All-Stars

They volunteer in hospitals. At learning centers. Through their

churches.

They run track. They play water polo. They race boats.

And they study hard, very hard.

This year’s top students from Corona del Mar and Newport Harbor

High schools don’t excel in just one area. They are total packages,

as adept in a chemistry lab as they are on a basketball court.

And, amazingly, they are just 17 or 18 years old. One day they

will take all they have learned so far and mold from it lives that

will dazzle us again.

Today, they can pause for their well-earned praise.
