Shannon King, Social Studies Teacher, said, “Jason is an outstanding student at Bridge City High School, and knowing he would have to demonstrate academic excellence in high school to achieve his goal of attending a prestigious university, Jason elected to pursue a rigorous course of study from his sophomore year through the present one.

Jason definitely understands the value of goal setting and the importance of team work.

I saw this quality firsthand in my Social Studies classes.

Over the last three years, Jason has grown academically, becoming more fully self-possessed with a command of analytic reasoning that places him in the top tier of the students I have encountered.

Jason’s enthusiasm and energy have been matched over the years with a discipline that is remarkable in someone his age, but this discipline is not about study habits, Jason’s discipline is a commitment to learning and Jason loves to learn.” Hannah Landry, Math Teacher, said, “Jason Withers is a very deserving recipient of this honor.

He is an extremely hard worker and will not stop until he has mastered the task.

With determination and intelligence, an unstoppable combination, Jason excels in his academic studies, involvement in band, and UIL events.

Jason is a leader in all aspects: academically, extracurricular, and especially in character.

His peers can confidently look up to him to demonstrate high standards and morals.

Congratulations on this honor, Jason! You are most deserving!”

Don Miller, Social Studies Department Chair and UIL Coordinator, said, “Jason Withers is a great student to have in class. In Government, he always has great insight into any discussion we are engaged in and he brings up very interesting and different views on topics. I have had the pleasure of coaching Jason for the past 3 years in Student Congress. I have enjoyed watching his growth as a public speaker and competitor. I also appreciate the fact that Jason has branched out to participate in many different UIL competitions. He is a very fine young man and I know he is going to accomplish great things in his college years and beyond.”
