Not only is he academically gifted, but his ability to create emotionally charged music is both impressive and inspiring.”

Shannon King, Social Studies Teacher, said, “Michael’s determination to be the best and achieve the best is his greatest strength. Michael has had to overcome great odds at home to achieve greatness in his academics and extra-curricular achievements. Circumstances forced Michael to grow up quickly and take on some adult responsibilities while still maintaining a great work ethic and great grades, as well as a high level of involvement in extracurricular activities. I very much admire Michael’s abilities to balance “adulating” with high school roles he plays.”

Cathy Riley, English Department Chair and Director of Bridge City Strutters, said, “MICHAEL TRAN exudes passion for learning.

Determined and driven, MICHAEL’s genteel demeanor and strong work ethics are stellar among male students.

He leads in the classroom, the band hall, math/science UIL practice room, and the community.

I am so proud of MICHAEL scoring a 3 on the AP English Language and Composition exam and a 4 on the Physics exam.

He is such a conscientious student who strives for excellence in all areas of his life.

MICHAEL TRAN is a rare find that every teacher dreams of having in class.

Without a doubt, the extraordinary and talented MICHAEL TRAN’s drive for excellence will prove effective in the many upcoming endeavors he pursues.

HUZZAH, TRAN!”

Donna Schrock, Science Department Chair, said, “Michael is a pleasure to have in the classroom. His integrity, respect of others, and positive attitude make him an exceptional role model for all students. Michael is an intelligent, dedicated young mind who goes above and beyond what is expected of him in the classroom, and as a member of the UIL Science team. He has a very inquisitive mind which makes him a very good AP Chemistry student, and I foresee a bright future ahead for Michael Tran.”

When asked about his future plans, Michael said, “I am considering attending Rice University, majoring in Computer Science and pursuing a career in Artificial Intelligence Programming.”
