Mount Pleasant High School senior, Cecilia Phan, was presented the Texas First Congressional Service Award from Congressman Nathaniel Moran’s office at the MPHS Academic Blanket awards ceremony on Thursday, May 9 in the MPHS Auditorium. Phan was nominated for the award by members of the MPHS staff.

Jalam Lewis, senior advisor to Congressman Moran, was on hand to present the award. “This award is dedicated to honoring students who have humbly served to make other people’s lives better and who have demonstrated the potential to become an extraordinary member of their school and community through his or her acts of selfless service,” said Lewis. “Today, Congressman Moran would like to honor one student from Mount Pleasant who has gone above and beyond to serve their school and community. It is my pleasure to present the Texas First Congressional Service Award/Excellence in Action to Cecilia Phan.”

Phan is a Mount Pleasant High School Top 10% Honor Graduate, and has served as President of HOSA, Reporter for NTHS, the FBLA social media Officer, and been a member of FCCLA, NHS, and Student Council. She will attend Northeast Texas Community College in the fall and pursue a degree in Biomedical Sciences.
