Additionally, one AS level student, Melvin Washington, has won a Top in USA award for achieving the highest result in the country in the Cambridge International AS Level Environmental Management examination. It is a terrific achievement for Melvin Washington and the teachers at Fort Lauderdale High who helped make his success possible.
