Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon
Student nominated for
leadership in science
Jalaney Suppah was nominated
as a delegate to the Congress of
Future Science and Technology
Leaders in Lowell, Mass in June.
The Congress is an honors-only
program for high school students
who are passionate about science,
technology, engineering or math-
ematics. Jaleney is a sophomore at
Madras High School.
The purpose of the Congress
is to honor, inspire, motivate and
direct the top students in the coun-
try who aspire to be scientists and
technologists, to stay true to their
dream and, after the event, to pro-
vide a path, plan and resources to
help them reach their goal.
Jalaney Suppah was nominated
to represent Oregon by Dr. John
C. Mather, winner of the Nobel
Prize in Physics and Science Di-
rector of the National Academy
of Future Scientists and Technolo-
gists.
The nomination was based on
Jalaney’s academic achievement,
leadership potential and passion for
science and technology.
“This is a crucial time in America
when we need more nimble-
minded and creative scientists and
technologists who are even better
prepared for a future that is chang-
ing exponentially,” said Richard
Rossi, executive director, National
Academy of Future Scientists and
Technologists.
“Focused, bright and deter-
mined students like Jalaney Suppah
are our future and she deserves
all the mentoring and guidance we
can give her.”
The Academy offers free ser-
vices and programs to students who
have the desire to learn more about
their future in science or technol-
ogy.
The Academy was founded on
the belief that science, technology,
engineering and mathematics
(STEM) education play a critical
role in enabling the U.S. to remain
the economic and technological
leader of the global marketplace.

Honored with science, technology award
My name is Jalaney Lily Ann
Suppah. I am currently a
sophomore attending Madras
High School and an enrolled
tribal member of the Confed-
erated Tribes of Warm Springs.
This summer I will be trav-
elling to Boston, Massachusetts
for a once in a lifetime experi-
ence with some of the greatest
minds in science and technol-
ogy.
I have been nominated as a
delegate for the National Acad-
emy of Future Scientist and
Technologist Award of Excel-
lence. I feel honored to be se-
lected for my academic
achievements, leadership poten-
tial and determination to serve
humanity in the field of science
and technology.
I will get the chance to dis-
cuss and observe state-of-the-
art inventions and make long-
term friendships.
My learning experiences will
undoubtedly change my per-
spectives and enhance my edu-
cational knowledge. I am most
looking forward to meeting dis-
tinguished world leaders, such
as Nobel Prize winners in Phys-
ics, Technology, Science, Inno-
vation, award-winning young
inventors, deans of top univer-
sities and many other high
school students.
I am grateful for this inspir-
Jalaney Suppah
ing opportunity to be around many
diverse leaders of many ages who
truly make a difference by devot-
ing their futures to changing the
world through science and tech-
nology.
I have had the opportunity to
participate in the National Junior
Honors Society as a sixth, seventh
and eighth grader.
I strive to stay on the Honor
Roll, and be a good role model to
the younger students.
It takes a great deal of work
to maintain academic excellence
and participate in sports.
I am a student/athlete of Ma-
dras High School, and enjoy play-
ing in high school sports year-
round.
I played soccer, basketball and
softball for Madras High School
this year. I also stay involved
during summer and attend
many camps and enjoy sup-
porting our school programs
and community by actively
fundraising for our sports pro-
grams.
Academic and athletic suc-
cess takes a team to succeed. I
would like to thank all my
teachers, coaches, family,
school counselors, 509-J school
board, Madras and War m
Springs communities, and my
parents for their support and
encouragement to be a student
athlete.
Sincerely,
Jalaney Lily Ann Suppah,
2017 Delegate representing
Madras High School and the
State of Oregon at the Con-
gress of Future Science and
Technology Leaders
