For the second consecutive year, the U.S. Department of Education has selected a senior from Wheeler as a female U.S. Presidential Scholar recipient.  Senior Cybele Greenberg has been named as one of the outstanding students -- one young man and one young woman -- from each State, D.C. and Puerto Rico. The U.S. Presidential Scholars have demonstrated leadership, scholarship, contribution to school and community, and outstanding accomplishments in the arts, sciences, humanities and other fields of interest. Greenberg joins Class of 2011 recipient Sol Taubin as the most recent RI young women selected for this honor. Six members of the Wheeler Class of 2012 were selected as candidates for this honor: Cybele Greenberg, Alex Hasslinger, Meg Hughes, Sawyer Middeleer, Nick Scoliard and Doris Xu.
