Hannah Omoruyi received quite a surprise when she arrived at Victory Early College High School on April 13.

Victory Early College High School senior Hannah Omoruyi was awarded a $2,500 scholarship from Channel 2 and Texas Mattress Makers. She’s pictured with Channel 2 News Anchor Christine Noel.

Hannah is a remote learner and was coaxed by Principal Phyllis Cormier to come to the school on April 13 to wrap up some paperwork.

When she walked through the doors, she was greeted by Channel 2 News Anchor Christine Noel, a camera crew, school administrators, and classmates. Noel announced that Hannah was the recipient of a $2,500 Channel 2 and Texas Mattress Maker Senior Scholarship!

Hannah has had quite a successful run at Victory Early College High School. She will graduate with a 3.98 GPA as her class’s valedictorian and will attend Wellesley College in Massachusetts in the fall.

Cormier said she was happy Hannah received the scholarship.

“Hannah is very meticulous and is a conscientious student,” Cormier said. “She never settles for mediocre and will not stop until she reaches her goal. From the very first day she entered Victory, it was evident she would succeed.”

Cormier added Hannah is a natural-born leader. She is president of the school’s Young Engineers and Scientists Club, a member EMERGE, a member of the National Honor Society, President of the Cultural Awareness Organization, the former Parliamentarian of the Science National Honor Society, a Biology tutor, a Team Building Instructor, a School Ambassador, a member of the Dream Team and serves as a Peer Mentor.

Hannah said she would major in biochemistry and plans on becoming a pharmacologist.

Some of Hannah’s family members are dealing with medical issues, which is why she has chosen to pursue a career in the medical field.

“The illness that I aspire to contribute research towards is hereditary and has created an emotional weight that, many times, inhibits my drive to persevere,” she wrote in her essay to Channel 2 and Texas Mattress Makers. “I am relatively high risk, and I feel hopeless at times because the condition would hinder my ability to continue my academic career. However, whether or not I develop the illness later in life, I have decided to use my situation as motivation to continue to work towards revolutionizing pharmaceutical mental health treatment.”

To prepare for her future, Hannah has taken the most advanced courses Victory offers, including dual credit courses. She will graduate with an Associate of Science degree.

And it appears that the best is yet to come for Hannah!
