Congratulations Kennedi Simmons!
Kennedi was honored with the prestigious Texas First Congressional Service Award, an annual recognition established by Congressman Nathaniel Moran to celebrate exceptional high school students across Texas’s First Congressional District. The award recognizes juniors and seniors who serve as “unsung heroes” and exemplify the spirit of Texas through extraordinary acts of service, sacrifice, and volunteerism.
Throughout her four years of high school, Kennedi demonstrated an outstanding commitment to serving others by completing more than 1,000 community service hours. Her dedication, leadership, and willingness to give back to her community reflect the true meaning of servant leadership and make her highly deserving of this distinguished honor.
