Lima Sr./ONU Political Science Student Earns Top Score in Americanism Contest

Summer Miller, who is a high school senior at Lima Senior High School taking a dual enrollment Political Science course from ONU earned the highest score for any female in the nation on the American Legion's Americanism Test.  Miller's teacher is Adam Vermillion, a 2005 graduate of HPJ and ONU and who is teaching the course for ONU.

The Americanism test included 50 questions that included multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and essays.

Miller told the Lima News that Vermillion has helped her change her previous attitude of not much interest in government by conducting "good discussions" and "making us really learn and understand it [government]." To read the entire story, click here.  Mr. Vermillion returned the comment saying that students like Miller "make my job easy.  She is a great student."

Miller is reportedly considering ONU for next year and we hope to see her here then.

Well done Summer and Adam!
