She will travel to Washington, D.C. June 17-19 to be presented with her award and to meet members of the Senate. According to their news release, the Jefferson Awards are a prestigious national recognition system honoring community and public service in America. The Jefferson Awards are presented on two levels: national and local. They began in 1972 to create a Nobel Prize for public service. Today, their primary purpose is to serve as a "Call to Action for Volunteers" in local communities. From each community, the Jefferson Awards Board selects one local winner to represent their community and be honored as part of the National Ceremonies in Washington, DC in June. 50 to 60 U.S. Senators present these winners their award. The Board of Selectors picks five of these to receive the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Award for "Outstanding Community Service Benefiting Local Communities." They stand side by side with the four other national award winners. Tiffani is a member of the Girl Scouts Black Diamond Council in Charleston and a senior at Cabell Midland High School. She is an active community volunteer who recently coordinated a project to collect more than 2,000 books, 359 movies, six gaming systems and 129 games for the River Park Hospital Pediatric Unit. Tiffani has also hosted parties for the children to get them excited about reading, including a red carpet event and a "Wild About Reading" program. This isn’t the first time Tiffani has been recognized nationally for her community service. Earlier this year, Tiffani was also named a Distinguished Finalist in the Prudential Spirit of Community recognition program. In addition, Tiffani was also chosen this year to attend the inaugural Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) Advanced Leadership Academy (ALA) in East Baltimore, Maryland February 27 through March 3, 2013. The Advanced Leadership Academy (ALA) is a leadership training program for high school juniors or and seniors. Based on the “Social Change Model of Leadership Development”, Ambassadors are challenged to use, identify, and understand their own leadership strengths and capabilities and create an action plan to lead a service project in their home communities.

These students earned their all-expenses paid trip to Washington D.C. by first finding success at the state level, bringing home the Governor’s Cup, February 2, 2013. Their award-winning project is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) designed to search for missing children. The project entailed a professional engineering design notebook and presentation, which required the students to apply concepts learned in physics, calculus, marketing and public speaking. The students worked on the team and earned credit toward graduation through an Extended Learning Opportunity, or ELO. These ELOs were established as part of Cabell County’s state-approved Innovation Zone project and give students the opportunity to earn high school credit for activities outside of the classroom. “This is a group of students who are at the top of their classes carry a full load of Advanced Placement courses in addition to the ELO, as well as participate in extra-curricular school and community activities,” says Brenda Parsons, a Milton Elementary teacher and parent of one of the team members. “They spent countless hours during evenings after school and on weekends from October through the middle of April researching, designing and testing their product.” Mrs. Parsons says a NASA IV &V representative, after viewing their design, approached the team and encouraged them to build their design with the support of NASA resources. Currently, the team is in the process of organizing and setting a detailed plan in place to physically construct their UAV. They will travel to the NASA facility in Fairmont to construct their UAV. The members of the Real World Design Challenge team are: Lauren Howell, Ting Wang, Autumn Deihl, Zach Booth, Austin Ray, Justin Barr and Chase Parsons. Chase was the only student remaining from the winning 2012 team so he recruited the members of the current team. Mrs. Sarah Elaine Jarrett is the Cabell Midland High School representative who accompanied the team to Washington, D.C. According to their website, The Real World Design Challenge (RWDC) is an annual high school competition run by a public-private partnership with the goal of sustainably increasing the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce. The partners are focused on working within the context of the American educational system to transform STEM education in the United States by providing professional science and engineering and learning resources to students and teachers.

Mrs. Myers teaches Social Studies, Contemporary Studies, and Civics at Huntington High School. She has 30 years of teaching experience, 27 of which have been in Cabell County and 3 of which were in Raleigh County. She has earned three degrees from Marshall University - an AB in Education with specialization in Social Studies and Math; an MA in Secondary Education with a specialization in Social Studies; and an MBA in Business Management. Donna Myers is the past recipient of the Ashland Inc. Golden Apple Achiever Award and the Bernard E. Chapman Newspapers in Education Award. She is a member of the National Education Association (NEA); The West Virginia Education Association (WVEA); the Cabell County Education Association (CCEA); the West Virginia Reading Association; and the Cabell County Reading Council, serving as School Representative. “Donna embodies the very concept of a teacher,” wrote Steven Freeman, Teacher and Faculty Senate President of Huntington High School. “When she talks about being a teacher she often opens the conversations with the statement ‘I love my job’. Donna gets that, as educators, we don’t teach subjects…we teach students. It is our responsibility to adapt what we teach to those we teach.” Freeman goes on to explain, “…she can reach the highest-level student while also meeting the needs of her many special needs students; and she sets the standard when it comes to differentiated instruction.” Donna has participated in extensive staff development, gaining in-depth knowledge of the most effective, research-based teaching strategies. And, her peers say she has been extremely generous in sharing that knowledge with other teachers. “Mrs. Myers has worked closely with staff members in supplying them with the skills to make their classrooms a learning environment,” writes Greg Webb, Principal of Huntington High School. “Mrs. Myers has instructed not only Huntington High teachers, but also teachers countywide…on what is needed for a seamless, cooperative learning classroom.” Webb continues, “Mrs. Myers has worked diligently with the administration and leadership team (which she has been a member of since its inception) to change the culture of Huntington High. Her active involvement has helped teachers place an emphasis on rigor and relevance in classroom instruction.” Fellow teacher and Special Education Department Chair Shawn Persinger writes that he has grown by “leaps and bound” by working with Donna Myers. He explains, “The way she teaches a class is second to none. Her teaching styles and approaches are constantly evolving as the needs of her students change. There is never a time when her students and their well-being are not her number one priority. Year in and year out, the most difficult and challenging students are placed in her classroom and, year in and year out, they succeed. They realize they have a chance and they are important. She makes them realize that they really do matter.” In addition to her school activities, Mrs. Myers is very involved in the community. She is a member of the Marshall University Professional Development Schools Committee; she has served in multiple leadership roles at her church, Fifth Avenue Baptist in Huntington; she is a volunteer with the Cridlin Food and Clothing Pantry; and, she is co-owner of The Pita Pit, a popular Huntington restaurant.

These students are Loy McGuire, David “Ben” Jones, John “Jack” McGee, Audrey McFarland, and Chandler Smith. According to their website, the National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), a test which serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.5 million entrants each year, and by meeting published program entry/participation requirements. All winners of Merit Scholarship awards (Merit Scholar designees) are chosen from the Finalist group, based on their abilities, skills, and accomplishments–without regard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or religious preference. A variety of information is available for NMSC selectors to evaluate: the Finalist's academic record, information about the school's curricula and grading system, two sets of test scores, the high school official's written recommendation, information about the student's activities and leadership, and the Finalist's own essay.
