TWO ASMS SENIORS RECEIVE BILL GATES MILLENNIUM SCHOLARSHIPS
|
ASMS seniors Ricardo Millhouse and Pei Lin have each received one of the most prestigious awards a high school senior can earn: a 2009 Bill Gates Millennium Scholarship.
?We are thrilled for these students and this is truly an honor for our school,? says ASMS College Counselor Julie Hoffmeyer.
Each Gates Millennium Scholarship will cover all tuition, fees, books, and living expenses at the colleges of their choice through graduate school. Each year, only 1000 GMS awards are announced nationwide. Over the past nine years, five ASMS students have won a GSM, including Millhouse and Lin.

Each year, ASMS students spend more than 4,500 hours volunteering their time throughout the Mobile area. Whether it’s tutoring elementary students, helping with food drives, building Habitat Homes, rescuing animals, giving blood, or feeding the homeless, it’s clear that ASMS students understand the importance of Giving back to their community.
The culture of volunteerism, so deeply ingrained at ASMS, is rooted in a concerted effort by the school to teach students that helping others is an important character trait in many successful leaders. “Teaching good citizenship is part of the emotional and social development of our students,” says Dean of Students Dr. Joe Rambo. “It’s a big part of developing a well-rounded student – which is something we definitely emphasize.”

ASMS 2008 grad and current University of Alabama student Michael Robson is designing an iPhone application to help people with diabetes manage their disease more efficiently. After he launches a pilot program to test the application, he aims to redesign and update the application and eventually release it to the Apple App Store so that diabetics across the globe can download it and improve how they manage their disease.
“This project has been so rewarding,” says Robson. “Not only have I met several great faculty and staff members, and even a representative from Apple, but I have also had the opportunity to try so many new things. I’ve never worked with a Mac before, so that has been a great experience – as has been learning both the iPhone software and hardware and how to program for it. I have also enjoyed watching this project grow from just an idea into a tangible product and to know that I have helped in its development.”
