We take great pride in honoring the exceptional student-athletes from our high performing network who have not only excelled in their respective sports but also shown distinguished academic prowess. Today, we put the spotlight on one such remarkable scholar: Ava Goemans, from Tomball, Texas, a graduating senior of 2025.
Ava has cultivated a noteworthy legacy at Tomball Memorial High School (TMHS). Her athletic journey took a significant turn when she joined the TMHS Waterpolo Varsity Team in her junior year. Even amidst rigorous academic obligations and demanding water polo practice schedules, Ava has consistently maintained a balance between athletics and academics, portraying the epitome of a Student Athlete Scholar (SAS).
An Embodiment of the SAS Philosophy
Our society, SAS, operates on the fundamental philosophy that high-achieving students should be duly recognized by college admissions. Ava fits right into this, demonstrating consistent performance and commitment to her endeavors. Her glowing achievement will serve as an inspirational example for other students, fostering a healthy culture of mentorship.
As part of our SAS community, Ava has received invaluable guidance from admissions counselors and fellow student athlete scholars who have navigated this path before. Empowered with concrete application strategies and tips designed particularly for student-athletes with high academic standards, Ava is now ready to transition to the next phase of her journey with confidence.
Heading to Texas State University
Ava’s hard work and perseverance have paid off significantly. She will be joining Texas State University in the fall, where she plans to study Medical Laboratory Sciences. Ava’s dedication to serving the community and commitment to leadership roles will undoubtedly resonate with the ethos of her new journey, and her alma mater, TMHS, will remember her valuable contributions.
Future Leader
Ava’s journey is a testament to SAS’s vision of community-building, service, and leadership. Her dedication underlines the significance of leading or founding a local chapter – a key factor that college admissions officers often seek. It’s always crucial to remember that institutions look beyond high grades and robust sports records, also considering qualities such as leadership and community service, something Ava has brilliantly exemplified.
With her sterling achievements and a bright future ahead, we congratulate Ava Goemans on her accomplishments. She represents the SAS ethos in every sense, providing a role model for every aspiring student-athlete scholar. As she embarks on her next chapter at Texas State University, we wish Ava every success and look forward to seeing how she continues to shine.
Remember – at SAS, we don’t just build athletes, we build scholar-leaders for the future. Round of applause for Ava Goemans!
