Howard College San Angelo students were recognized for their academic achievement through the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation and Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society (PTK). Rachael Deller was selected as the 2023 New Century Workforce Pathway Scholar for Texas, and Hailey Lowden was selected for the 2023 Coca-Cola Academic Team Silver Scholar. Both of these awards recognize the scholastic achievements of college students who demonstrate academic excellence and intellectual rigor combined with leadership and service that extends their education beyond the classroom.

Deller joined PTK in October 2022 and is currently working toward her Associates of Science in Pre-Medical Studies degree. After graduation, Deller will be applying to Howard College Health Professions programs to continue her education in the medical field through respiratory care or radiology.

Lowden serves as a LEADS Student Mentor, President of the Student Government Association, and Project Manager for PTK. She also plans to complete her Associates of Science in Pre-Medical Studies with Howard College and continue her education in the medical field.
