Cornell University senior Chandler Kemp was recently selected as a Merrill Presidential Scholar, an honor bestowed on the university’s most outstanding graduating seniors. It also recognizes the teachers who played a role in their success.
Kemp, a 2008 graduate of Haines High School, chose school science teacher Mark Fontenot to join him at the Ivy League university during graduation week for events honoring the scholars and their teachers. Cornell will cover Fontenot’s travel.
