Star Student Excels At Bartow High International Baccalaureate Program

LAKELAND, FL — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.

This submission comes from Patricia Philson who nominated her grandson, John, a ninth-grader and A+ students since kindergarten who is currently enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program at Bartow High School.

In addition to being bright, his grandmother said, "He is a great kid who cares about his family."

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, John.
