Mustang’s Biscone earns award in speech, drama
A Mustang resident earned an honor from the United States Achievement Academy. James Biscone, who attends Rosary School in Oklahoma City, was named a United States National Award winner in speech and drama.
Rosary School teacher Cathy Goett recommended Biscone for the award.
A U.S. National Award is a prestigious honor very few students hope to attain. The U.S. Achievement Academy recognizes fewer than 10 percent of all American high school students. Biscone’s name will be published in the Academy’s official yearbook, which is published annually.
Biscone is the son of Joe and Kathy Biscone of Mustang. His grandparents are Mary Ryder of Pierce City, Mo., and Nancy Biscone of Ravena, N.Y.
“Recognizing and supporting our youth is more important that ever before in America’s history,” said Dr. George Stevens, executive director of the U.S. Achievement Academy. “Certainly, United States Achievement Academy winners should be congratulated and appreciated for their dedication to excellence and achievement.”
The Academy selects USAA winners upon the exclusive recommendation of teachers, coaches, counselors and other qualified sponsors, and upon the Standard of Selection set forth by the Academy.
Selection criteria includes the student’s academic performance, interest and aptitude, leadership qualities, responsibility, enthusiasm, motivation to learn and improve, citizenship, attitude and cooperative spirit, dependability, and recommendation from a teacher or director.
