The United States Achievement Academy announced today that Celia Song from Newtown has been named a United States National Award Winner in mathematics. This award is a prestigious honor very few students can ever hope to attain. In fact, the Academy recognizes fewer than 10% of all American high school students.

Celia, who attends Newtown High School, was nominated for this national award by her math teacher, Nicole Leone. Celia will appear in the United States Achievement Academy Official Yearbook which is published nationally.
