TYLER – Robert E. Lee Principal Roger McAdoo was awarded the 2011 College Readiness Award presented by the Texas ACT Council. “I am honored to have received this award,” McAdoo said. “At Robert E. Lee High School we make every effort to prepare our students for college, and we are determined to continue this pattern of educational excellence.”
The College Readiness Award recognizes Robert E. Lee for increasing its ACT scores over the past five years, while also maintaining or increasing the number of students who took the test. Approximately 10 percent of high schools across the state accomplished the same results as Robert E.
