ACA Senior Selected as
Distinguished Young Woman of Macon County
Alabama Christian Academy senior Morgan Prestage has been selected as the
Distinguished Young Woman of Macon County. Morgan will compete at the state
competition in January. Morgan stated “I am so honored to be selected to represent
Macon County at the Alabama state program. Distinguished Young Women challenges
young ladies to become a positive leader in their community, along with challenging
themselves in the classroom. Academics and interview skills are 50% of the score. This
scholarship program teaches life skills such as interviewing and public speaking. I am
excited about meeting other young ladies from the state and learning from them. I
would love to win some scholarship money, too. I am looking forward to this amazing
opportunity and I am very excited to see what will happen when I represent Macon
County in the State Program in January.” ACA is so proud of Morgan!
