The Capital City HUES is proud to present the second annual Row of Excellence. This honor is bestowed on seniors of color graduating with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or above. Most of our Row members far exceed that minimum threshold. The vast majority of the members of the Row share a measure of their free time working with and helping other students, non-profits, or people who are not able to provide for themselves. The current of community service runs deep in this class. The current of scholarly excellence also runs deep with them. A fair number are members of the National Honor Society. Some are graduating with a 4.0 GPA or are hovering close to that mark. Many excel in athletics and/or the performing arts. All of these students use their time wisely as they prepare for the next stage in their lives.
The Capital City HUES congratulates the members of this Row of Excellence. We wish them the best as they make their way to their future careers. They make us — and this community — proud.
I’d like to offer my personal congratulations to each and every one of these impressive young people. They are an inspiration to us all!

As the proud father of Jessica Winkler, one of the Row of Excellence recipients from West, I appreciated the recognition. She has worked very hard to overcome barriers to her achievement, and has developed into this person of beauty both in grace, character and confidence.
Not mentioned in the article is her twelve years of dedication to dance at Westside Performing Arts, and her budding excellence in yoga, and art.
