Jose Antonio Morales, a recent Roosevelt High School graduate from San Antonio, has achieved a remarkable feat. He beat out national competitors to become the official Student Reporter for the prestigious Jimmy Awards in New York City!

The Jimmy Awards, held annually at the Minskoff Theatre, celebrate the best high school musical theater talent across the U.S., showcasing the future stars of Broadway.

Morales's win was the result of a unique competition: participants had to maximize engagement on a 60-second video. His success is a testament to his dedication and impressive social media savvy.

This isn't Morales's first accolade. He's also a recipient of the Majestic Empire Foundation JOCI Awards.

The ceremony, held on June 23rd, saw Morales covering the event, offering an exciting glimpse into the vibrant world of high school musical theater and the path to Broadway stardom. His reporting highlights not only his talent, but also the impressive achievements of Texas students on a national stage.
