Are you getting tired of hearing the constant bashing of the Millennial
Generation? Sure, they’re not a horde of perfection, but compare them to Gen Ys,
or the Babyboomers, and they’re a pretty impressive group.
PCT set out to recognize the most impressive 10 young people in our county,
under the age of 20.
To do this, we sent out query letters to area schools (both public and private),
charities and other organizations that work with young people and asked them to
tell us about the best of the best. Similar to our experience last year, we received
an overwhelming response and like last year, narrowing the top “Under 20s” was
no small task. We had hundreds of extraordinary young people nominated.
With much anguish, we and our community partners managed to pinpoint 10
truly remarkable Parker County young people, all under the age of 20.
We know you will enjoy meeting them. We certainly did.
