Noemia (Mia) King, who grew up in Magnolia and attended Our Lady of Fatima church, has been awarded the Leonore Annenberg Teaching Fellowship from the University of Pennsylvania.
The fellowship is considered by some to be the national "Rhodes Scholarship" for teaching. It was made possible by a grant from the Woodrow Wilson Foundation and funded by both the Annenberg Foundation and the Carnegie Corp. King also received the Class of 2009 Association of Native Alumni Student Leader Award for her work in support of the Native American community.
In July, King will attend the masters in education program at the School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania.[[In-content Ad]]
