Florida teen will become the first Black male salutatorian at his high school
A Florida teen set a goal for his senior year of high school and was able to make history. Jeremiah Daniels has been named salutatorian at Boca Ciega High School in Gulfport, Florida. The teen will be the first Black male to hold the second-highest ranking in his graduating class in the school’s 69-year history according to News Onyx. Jeremiah Daniels will be graduating with a 4.6 GPA.
“I’m just glad for the opportunity to be able to create Black history and be a part of something bigger,” Daniels told Fox 13 Tampa Bay. Daniels mother, Brittney Daniels says her son’s achievement was a milestone he had wanted to achieve since the start of his high school career. She also said how well he did in school from an early age.
“He told his father and I four years ago that he wanted to be the salutatorian, and we knew that he could achieve it in the end. For him to work at it, year after year, straight As, since third grade,” Brittney said according to the news station.
“I would say the teachers, for sure, that definitely challenged me, on the challenges itself, like learning something new and being able to say, ‘I can understand it,’ and actually being able to use it and apply it to different situations,” the teen said.
After he graduates, Daniels will be going to Florida State University majoring in computer engineering.
