SCHULTZ STUDENT HONORED BY DUKE UNIVERSITY

Brandon Belvin, a seventh-grader at L.J. Schultz Middle School, has been recognized for his outstanding academic achievement through TIP, the Duke University Talent Identification Program.

Belvin has been invited to a Grand Recognition Ceremony June 7 at Duke University in Durham, N.C.

Students invited to the TIP ceremony earned scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Testing Assessment (ACT) higher than 65 percent of college-bound high school seniors. Of the almost 62,000 students who participated in this year's talent search, only 2,173 qualified for this honor.

He is the son of Ben and Linda Belvin.
