Temple College recently announced the President’s Honor List in recognition of high academic achievement for the 2008 fall session, and New Breed Racing's Alesi Gerthe from Rockdale, Texas is among those listed.
“Education ranks at the top of Alesi's priority list, with drag racing coming in close behind," said Lisa Gerthe. "Alesi continues to manage a full load at college along with being very involved in helping the team with marketing, not to mention our race schedule. She continues to tailor her classes to best meet her needs with online and hybrid courses along with the traditional class setting. Racing and her dream of joining the professional ranks continue to appear in her short and long range plan, and she is doing an awesome job at keeping everything in focus and in the right perspective despite distractions and set backs that life sometimes throws your way."
To be named to the President’s Honor List a student must be taking at least nine semester hours of work and must have a grade point average of at least 4.0.
