Nimitz High History Student Honored by SBOE

During the November State Board of Education (SBOE) meeting, Nimitz High School student Thalia Duran was recognized by the Board for being part of the Group Documentary team that placed second at the National History Day competition in June at the University of Maryland.

Thalia’s group members included Kevin Connally, Bradley Ofoegbu, and Angelica Reyes. Connally, Ofoegbu and Reyes graduated from Nimitz in June of 2013. The title of their project was, “When Faith Turns Fatel.” Thalia was accompanied to the SBOE meeting by her sponsors Barbi Binnig and Richard Cheplick, as well as Priscilla Ridgway, Aldine ISD’s Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction.
