Congratulations to Bishop State’s own Marcus English and Trenice Paige for being named to the 2025 All-Alabama Academic Team! The prestigious recognition celebrates the academic excellence, leadership, and community service of top-performing students across the Alabama Community College System (ACCS).
Marcus and Trenice, both members of the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society, were honored at the 30th Annual All-Alabama Academic Team Recognition Program held in Birmingham. As part of this honor, each student received a $1,000 scholarship from the Paths for Success Foundation to use at the college or university of their choice upon transfer. Marcus was also named a Bronze Scholar by the Coca-Cola Academic Team.
The Alabama Community College System (ACCS) recognized 48 of its top students at the 30th Annual All-Alabama Academic Team Recognition Program on Friday at the Embassy Suites Birmingham-Hoover. Two students from each Alabama community college earned scholarship awards totaling $61,250.
