Three CCHS students were given the Aspire Award from the Society of Women Engineers last week at their awards event “2022 Night of the STEM Stars” held at the National Automobile Museum in Reno. Elvira Taihly Correa Chavarin, Nelly Ruiz, and Kyla Trotter were unbeknownst to them, nominated by Mr. Steve Johnson, CCHS Chemistry Teacher. Mr. Johnson recognized the three young women in his social media saying:
“I had the honor of recognizing Ms. Elvira Taihly Correa Chavarin with the 2022 Society of Women Engineers Aspire Award for academic achievement. Taihly is SO SO SO Smart. I mean, it is kind of scary. She is crushing my college chemistry classes this year and will major in biology at UNR this fall. Her goal is to attend the Nevada School of Medicine and become an anesthesiologist. I KNOW she will succeed. She rocks everything she does. How many 16-year-olds do you know who earn a 98% in college calculus? Taihly is also an incredible artist. Her drawings are completely amazing.” She also was awarded a scholarship from the University of Nevada.
“It is a thrill to be surrounded by really SMART people like Nelly Ruiz. I was lucky enough to be able to present Nelly with the Society of Women Engineers 2022 Aspire award for scholarship and academic excellence. Nelly destroyed three years of chemistry at Churchill County High School. This smart girl earned the highest grade in my college chemistry 122 class last spring. In addition to being a genius, Nelly is also a painter. Nelly will attend UNR in the fall, and major in biology. She plans to attend medical school and specialize as a neonatologist.”
“Kyla Trotter is such a talented young lady. She excels at EVERYTHING. Really. I had the honor of presenting her with a 2022 Society of Women Engineers Aspire Award. Kyla is very involved in school leadership and exemplifies everything that the word, scholarship, means. She will attend UNR this fall, and major in computer science and engineering. Her true love is computer programming. It is an HONOR to know Kyla and have had her in my chemistry classes.
