Samuel Issac Nelson, III, a Douglas Anderson School of the Arts graduate, has been named a 2025 U.S. Presidential Scholar, one of the highest honors for high school seniors.<\/p>\n

Nelson is one of just 161 students nationwide, and only 20 in the arts, selected this year by the U.S. Department of Education.<\/p>\n

He is the only student from Jacksonville and one of three arts scholars from Florida to receive the award.<\/p>\n

While at Douglas Anderson, Nelson stood out as a musical theatre student, class vice president, and award-winning performer in shows like \u201cHadestown\u201d and \u201cNext to Normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

His journey was supported by the Developing Artists Foundation, which helps young Jacksonville artists get the training and experiences they need to succeed.<\/p>\n
