“My name is Kennise Baker, one of my goals was to become an A-B honor roll student and I finally accomplished that task. I also received a plaque from my teacher for being a studious young lady. My plans for my Junior year is to remain an A-B honor roll student even though my course schedule will consists of: AP English, AP US History, Geometry, Chemistry 1, Spanish 3, Criminal Justice 1 and Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID – 2nd year in this program). My future plans are to attend James Madison University and become a counselor or social worker.”

Kennise’ mom, Denise King, reports that Kennise has been invited to travel and study in England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland in the summer of 2011 with “People to People” an educational exploration program founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Kennise was identified because of her participation in the College Board Student Search Service- the organization that administers the SAT and PSAT. Her mother says “this is a great opportunity for Kennise that she may take advantage of next year.” She said, she is “so proud of her.”

Kennise is a student at West Potomac High School and resides in Alexandria, VA. with her mom, Denise King.
