Culver City Observer -

In addition to being named to the Honor Roll for the second grading period of the 2014-2015 school year Ahmed Tawfik of Culver City has been named a "Cadet of Distinction" at Army and Navy Academy. This title is given to those students who have achieved the highest citizenship grade attainable and zero demerits for the entire third grading period.

Cadets of Distinction exhibit a strong commitment to the Academy's unique character education program. They exemplify the Academy's mission of educating and developing young men of good character.

"Congratulations, Cadets," said SgtMaj Eusebio Gonzalez, USMC (Ret) in an awards ceremony recognizing the students. "You set the standard."

On being named to the honor roll Lisa Basista, Dean of Academics said, "Congratulations on this achievement and always continue striving for academic excellence."

Founded in 1910, the Army and Navy Academy is a private not-for-profit institution that provides an academically robust, character-based education for young men, grades 7 through 12. It is the only private boarding school in San Diego County and the only private military academy for high school-age students in California and surrounding states.

Students with a grade point average of 3.50 or higher are named to the Honor Roll, and Cadet Tawfik achieved a GPA of 3.7143. This is an impressive accomplishment, especially considering the Academy's unique curriculum that includes Leadership Education Training (LET) in addition to the core subjects.
