Congratulations to Lauren Valdez and Mazzy Montgomery! They were selected by our staff to represent Clear Horizons at the HOBY Youth Leadership Conference this summer.

Here is the list of winners for the BPA regional competition for Last Saturday's meet at Brazosport College. CHECHS students competed against 450 students from Houston and surrounding areas. The students highlighted in yellow will be advancing to the state competition on March 3--5, 2023.

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting our first annual Chess Tournament at CHECHS on March 25th. There will be opportunities to volunteer and participate. Thanks to our CHECHS Mates Club for setting up this great opportunity for our students.

The Texas Youth Institute is a life-changing experience at Texas A&M University where high school students engage with local leaders and experts on critical global challenges, participate in hands-on activities, and explore exciting ways to make a difference in Texas and around the world. The Texas Youth Institute is hosted by Texas A&M University with the generous support of the College of Agriculture and Life Science Development Council, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M AgriLife Research, The Texas Hunger Initiative at Baylor University, and the SYSCO Corporation.

Students who participate in the Texas Youth Institute earn recognition as a Borlaug Scholar, and qualify for internships and further opportunities.

At this exciting event, participating high school students have the opportunity to:

• Present research and recommendations on ways to solve key global challenges in a short speech and small group discussions with statewide experts;

• Connect with other student leaders from across Texas to share ideas, identify solutions to these problems and build lasting friendships;

• Explore the issues, current research and opportunities to make a difference at Texas A&M University; and

• Interact with global leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs in Texas working to end hunger and poverty and improve food security around the world.

Papers will be evaluated by The World Food Prize Board of Reviewers. This distinguished group of educators and experts was established to mentor and personally encourage students. Reviewers write thoughtful, personalized feedback to each student who participates in the Youth Institute.

To participate in the Texas Youth Institute, high school students research a global issue and write a paper under the supervision of a teacher or mentor (using the downloadable guideline above and resources below).

Email Mrs. Tidwell if you are interested in writing a paper and attending this event.
