U.S. Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) offered his congratulations last week to 36 stellar high school students across Texas’ 21st congressional district who achieved the Exceptional Senior Award (ESA). This award is in its sixth year of existence.
The award winners included Perry Faught of Blanco High School and Casey Loewer of LBJ High School in Johnson City.
ESA winners have consistently displayed high levels of character, leadership, integrity and diligence. These virtues are evident through their philanthropic activities, academic success, and reputations among peers and teachers.
“I am proud of all that the incredible young men and women of Texas’ 21st Congressional District have achieved. Texans have reason to be optimistic about our great state’s destiny with them as our future leaders,” Roy said.
Rep. Roy said he was deeply grateful to the families of these exceptional seniors for their love and support throughout their educational journeys. He would also like to thank the faculty of schools across his district who recommended these individuals for the ESA.
