Team scholars are Alex Daniels of Chino Valley, Celeena Johnson of Lake Montezuma and Gia Noelle of Prescott
Earlier this year, Yavapai Community College announced that 12 students had earned lucrative All-Arizona Academic Team scholarships. On April 15 it announced that that three of the 12 were also named to the 2020 Coca-Cola Academic Team. This qualifies the three for more scholarship money in addition to tuition-free state university transfers. The Community College’s Coca-Cola Academic Team scholars are, Alex Daniels of Chino Valley, Celeena Johnson of Lake Montezuma and Gia Noelle of Prescott.
The trio were selected based on scoring in the All-USA Academic Team competition sponsored by the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation and administered by the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. More than 2,000 students nationwide applied for the All-USA team. The awards were based on academic success, leadership initiative and community service.
