CHS Senior Named Girl of Distinction

Congratulations to Cabot High School senior Madison Rivera for recently being named a Girl of Distinction! As part of the Arkansas Women's Hall of Fame, five Girls of Distinction, are selected from area high schools. The honorees attended the August 22 induction banquet at the Little Rock Statehouse as guests of the Arkansas Women's Hall of Fame.

The Arkansas Women's Hall of Fame recognizes women whose contributions have influenced the direction of Arkansas. As a Girl of Distinction, Madison had the opportunity to escort the inductees to the stage and was also recognized at the event herself. The opportunity to meet women like these is a unique privilege, and also an opportunity to inspire these Girls of Distinction to set their goals and ambitions a step higher.

In order to be nominated a deserving Girl of Distinction, honorees must be in good academic standing, distinguishing themselves as leaders in the classroom, athletic team, or as a community member, and show exemplary conduct in the classroom and all school related functions.

Madison was selected as the District of Cabot Leader for Senator John Bozeman's Youth Leadership Cabinet, accepted to Arkansas Governor's School in the content area of Social Science, a graduate of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Future Agents in Training Internship, and Arkansas Communication and Theater Arts Association Student Congress four-time Superior Representative and Clerk. In addition, Madison is a Representative of Cabot High School's Youth Leadership Council, National Honor Society, National English Honor Society, Criminal Justice Club, and Captain of the Debate Team. Madison also volunteers with Samaritan's Purse, Shiner's Club, Foster Friends, and serves as a Christian Youth Internship Leader and Mentor.

Madison plans to start a non-profit organization with its mission to feed, clothe, and assist people in need across Arkansas. She aspires to be a collegiate intern for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, majoring in Political Science at the University of Arkansas focusing on Pre-Law Society, with the desire to attend Harvard Law School.

We are Panther Proud of Madison Rivera, a Girl of Distinction!
