Manuel not only shines athletically, he earned a 3.791 – Unweighted GPA and a 4.114 – Weighted GPA.

Kyle has been involved with scouts since 2006, when he joined as a cub scout.

Kyle’s Eagle Scout project was the construction of a butterfly garden at Challenger K-8 in memory of the Challenger space shuttle disaster victims.
