Guess which Huntsville high school student was named to the First Team All-USA High School Academic Team?<\/a><\/p>\n

Johnny Hu, that’s who.<\/a><\/p>\n

Johnny, a friend of Number One Son at Grissom High who scored a perfect 2400 on his SAT and a perfect 36 on his ACT, was among 20 students named to the team. Of those, 15 were of Asian or Indian descent. I don’t know precisely how much genetics has to do with that (my guess is quite a bit), but I do know that many of those kids are second generation Americans whose immigrant parents have instilled in them a killer work ethic which makes me and my progeny look like absolute slouches.<\/p>\n

If you go to this gallery<\/a>, Johnny is number four and is pictured standing next to some rockets, symbols of Huntsville’s brain power and who knows what all else.<\/p>\n

Number One, who’s had a good view of Johnny’s rear license plate these past four years, tells me that not only is he very bright but that he’s a nice guy and pretty funny to boot. In the senior video, he played a hard-core captain of the math team in a spoof of MTV’s “Two a Days.” Over the past week, the rumor had been circulating around school that Johnny wouldn’t be allowed to graduate next week because he failed to take a required keyboarding class in 9th grade. The source of that rumor was hard to pinpoint, but one wonders if it wasn’t Johnny himself.<\/p>\n

Johnny is Harvard bound and no doubt destined for great things. We’re proud of him, as well as all the other seniors in the great Grissom Class of ’07.<\/p>\n

Go Johnny go. Go Grissom.\n<\/p>\n
