Student Accomplishments

Congratulations to Benedict Anwukah
from Martin High School for being
named the January 2015 Student of
the Month. Benedict is a well-rounded
student, participating in track, choir
and even Martin’s Heckle Squad, a
group of students who attend athletic
events and cheer the Martin teams to
victory. Last year, after an injury while
he was running track, Benedict worked
with the guidance of his doctor to
make an artificial knee joint. He is the
first chair in Martin’s UIL Regional
Choir, as well, and yet he still manages
to excel in AP classes such as AP
calculus, AP biology, AP government
and AP macroeconomics.

January Student of
the Month

Benedict plans on a career in the
biomedical profession after attending
the Cockrell School of Engineering at
the University of Texas at Austin. †
