TCU CHANCELLOR’S SCHOLARSTexas Christian University’s Chancellor’s Scholars Program selects approximately 100 applicants nationwide each year to undergo the rigorous interview process. In 2015, 65 students were named Chancellor’s Scholars receiving full four-year academic scholarships. Because the program is so selective, it is an honor for a high school to have one senior named a TCU Chancellor’s Scholar. This year, All Saints’ has two.

NATIONAL HISPANIC RECOGNITION
TCU Chancellor’s Scholars: Frenki Behaj (top) and Eric Getz (bottom)

SENIORS IN THE SPOTLIGHTAs Servants, Scholars, Artists and Athletes, our Seniors are ready to engage the world.
Courtney Hammit’s smile stands out in a hall filled with All Saints’ students navigating to and from classrooms. She’s busy juggling upper level classes, volleyball and her artwork, yet she always finds time for others. At All Saints’ alone, she serves as a Student Ambassador, helps teachers with projects and events and motivates her friends for the next big milestone. In addition to serving her school, she dedicates herself to her church, volunteering in the community and doing mission work. Mission trips in high school have included Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, Nicaragua and Tanzania. It comes as no surprise, then, that Courtney is pursuing a career in service – pediatric speech pathology – and has selected Baylor’s program for Communication Sciences and Disorders to prepare her. Courtney leads with a servant heart and is an inspiration for everyone around her.
Ryan Nguyen became a Saint his freshman year when he and his twin brother, Jeff ’15, moved here from Vietnam. A painter, graphic designer, photographer and drama student, Ryan has built his high school career around his passion for the arts. He has won numerous local art show awards and All Saints’ honors and even provides artistic direction for the rebranding of a clothing line in Vietnam. For his combined Junior Honors Thesis and Senior Project, Ryan created a series of paintings which represents student life in the context of the four elements – fire, earth, water and air. Ryan will study at the Rhode Island School of Design next year with the goal of becoming a professional illustrator.
At eighteen, Gracie Chambers has done more than some have in their careers. The founder, owner and operator of The Fort Clothing Etc.®, Gracie designs and retails apparel that trends locally with national brands such as Southern Tide®. She also owns a graphic design company which serves other apparel operations in the metroplex. And she was a reporter for a local publication in her mid-teens. At All Saints’, Gracie wears just as many hats – from Yearbook Editor and Marketing Intern to Cheer Captain and Student Ambassador. On top of managing a rigorous academic program, which included 15 AP and Honors classes, she makes time to give back to numerous community organizations. Gracie is a well-rounded, entrepreneurial leader and is looking forward to attending the University of Texas this fall to study in the Business Honors program with an emphasis on marketing.
Eric Rutledge, ranked 1st in Texas and 5th in the nation for tennis, has signed to play at Wake Forest University this coming fall. Successfully managing upper level coursework and community service hours around an extensive travel schedule for tennis, Eric is a role model for many aspiring athletes. Since last summer, he has played in 15 major tournaments across the nation, including representing Texas at the National Junior Davis Cup and the U.S. National Championships, both of which only accept the top ranking tennis players in Texas. Eric will play competitively at Wake Forest and potentially beyond, but he is also focused on obtaining a degree in business.

“Going into UT from All Saints’, I am thankful for how self-aware I am. Because All Saints’ caters to each individual student, I know my areas of strength as well as some areas where I am not as strong. And that has allowed me to look at my first year of college through a much more mature lens.”
“First, I want to congratulate my brother James, graduating with the Class of 2015, for his many accomplishments. I am confident he’ll transition smoothly into college like I did. In my freshman year at USC, I was so well adjusted to the new coursework and schedule that my professors repeatedly asked where I went to high school.”
“I went into Rice with a strong work ethic and the ability to manage my time extremely well. At All Saints’, I learned to manage a rigorous academic schedule with sports and many other activities. As the years pass, I become more and more aware of how well prepared I was for college.”
“I still know students at LIM who are timid about asking questions of their professors. Because the culture at All Saints’ was so warm and open, I never had trouble conversing with my teachers. I gained a tremendous amount of confidence during high school that paved the way for an easy transition into college.”
