Robert Shekoyan – a student at the Shnorhali Armenian and Sunday School of St. Mary Armenian Church in Washington, D.C. – was recognized last month for his exceptional achievement in an international academic competition organized by Johns Hopkins University. Robert was among the highest scoring participants on the International Mathematics and Verbal Talent Search in the District of Columbia, and one of the students in grades 2 to 6 to achieve highest honors in the Mid-Atlantic region. The Talent Search, a program established in 1981, is run by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth. Robert Shekoyan is the son of Vladimir and Nune Shekoyan. The Shekoyan family is actively involved at St. Mary Church, where Dr. Shekoyan has served on the Parish Council.
