This week we have two students up for the honor.

• Kyla Stephens, a senior at Detroit Central High School. Her nominator describes Kyla as "a quiet giant" in the school's inaugural AP Biology class who, "while super intelligent … is not pretentious, and, while not being shy to share her perception when asked, she's kind-hearted and willing to help others if an opportunity arises. "
• Joshua T. Sloan, a senior at Bloomfield Hills High School. Joshua's nominator says he "exemplifies the qualities of a scholar, leader, and servant of others, making him a truly newsworthy individual." Joshua currently has 4.2 grade point average and is a member of the National Honor Society.
