FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Edgewood Academy Student Honored in Statewide Magazine

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Harris Woodruff, a senior at Edgewood Academy, has been honored as a Teen Spotlight in Potential Magazine for excelling in his talent and leadership.

Harris is a member of several clubs and organizations at Edgewood Academy, including the Math Team, Scholar’s Bowl, Beta Club, and Spanish Club . He is a 12U Travel Baseball Coach, and serves as the manager for Edgewood’s football team. One thing is clear: Being nice matters to Harris. He was voted "Most Kind" at Edgewood, and helps to organize a canned food drive for a local food bank each year. When asked to share something most people don’t know about him, Harris revealed, “I’ve had glasses since I was three, and had to wear a patch over one eye until the age of five to strengthen the other eye.”

“We admire Harris’ determination. He has always set his mind on a goal and strived to achieve it,” explains Melissa Woodruff.

Potential Magazine is a multimedia resource for parents of college-bound teenagers. In each issue, high achieving students in the 7th-12th grade are featured and entered to win the $500 "Reach Your Potential" scholarship awarded in January and May.

Teens are recommended by their school or community leaders for excelling in one or more of the following areas: academics, business, leadership, philanthropy, overcoming adversity, citizenship and community service, athletics, and the arts. Potential Magazine's advisory board chooses teens to feature in each issue and select the scholarship winner in May from each of the finalists.

"We love spotlighting teens in Alabama and gaining great advice from their parents," stated Pam Mashburn, publisher of Potential Magazine. Teens who are selected participate in an interview and photo shoot along with their parents for a spotlight feature in the magazine and website. Nomination forms can be found on www.potentialmagazine.com
