Amanda Haney is a senior at Liberty High School. She has been very active on campus and off throughout her school years. She has maintained a 4.4 grade point average in high school.

This last year she was chosen to participate in the Ford Foundation Dream Builders in which her group won the top award for their moving presentation call Every Fifteen Minutes. They have made it into a video and have presented it to other high schools, hoping to get the message to teens about drinking and driving and its consequences. For this effort, she won the California Highway Patrol Commander Certificate of Commendation.

She has received several scholarships and awards from Bakersfield Jr. Miss American Legion, the Spanish Club, the Math Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society and is in the California Scholarship Federation, a Gold Seal recipient.

She is in the choir that will be singing at Carnegie Hall in New York on May 27. She is also an active member of the Bible Club on campus.

She works part-time at Foot and Ankle Institute, which is helping her in her career choice. She will be attending Long Beach State University next year, majoring in kinesiology and minoring in dance.

From the time she was three years old, she has danced for Dancers Workshop. Now she is helping to teach the 3 and 4 year olds. She has received several awards for her dancing. Last year she received the Most Exemplary Dancer award at her studio. She also dances with a group of girls that have danced in California and Las Vegas for competition where they have won many awards. One summer vacation she was privileged to dance with the New York Rocket's dance program.

Amanda has worked very hard to accomplish and maintain her good grades, her other accomplishments and activities and her family wants her to know how very proud of her they are.

Go Beach.
