Isabella Campbell has a penchant for excelling 鈥� and for helping others be at their best, too.

The Alvord High School senior is at the top of her class academically and serves as president of the senior class, the student council, Alvord High School鈥檚 National Honor Society chapter and the school鈥檚 Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America chapter.

For the third year in a row, Campbell is the high school鈥檚 drum major, and she has been named to the All-Region Band and the All-Star Cast in the University Interscholastic League鈥檚 One-Act Play competition.

For years, Campbell has been a volunteer at Grace Fellowship Church and at the Alvord Public Library鈥檚 summer reading program. She tutors at her high school, too.

Given her distinctive background in leadership, academics and service to her community, Campbell was an easy choice for the 2022 Chancellor鈥檚 Endowed Scholarship, awarded by Texas Woman鈥檚 University Chancellor Carine M. Feyten. 

鈥淐learly, she has set the bar exceedingly high for academics, extracurricular activities and community service, and we are proud to have you join our university community,鈥� Feyten said during a surprise visit to Alvord High School on April 13 to personally award the scholarship to Campbell.

Besides the chancellor and several Texas Woman鈥檚 administrators in attendance, Campbell鈥檚 parents, brother and grandmother took part in the celebration. The school鈥檚 principal and several of Campbell鈥檚 teachers and fellow band members also attended the presentation.

The scholarship is the university鈥檚 most prestigious and has an estimated value of $52,000. Besides the monetary value, the scholarship includes a mentorship component, in which the chancellor will serve as Campbell鈥檚 mentor. 

Campbell acknowledged challenges associated with maintaining a busy schedule but said, 鈥淚 have a bunch of people who I know support me, and they made me want to be a leader.鈥�

She plans to major in education when she enrolls at Texas Woman鈥檚 in fall 2022, and says she hopes to one day combine her love of education with film-making. Already she has a collection of short videos on a YouTube channel that she has created, and hopes to eventually make documentaries on topics that have broad interest and which can reach large audiences.

鈥淚 fell in love with putting pieces together and sharing them with other people,鈥� Campbell said.

For now, she maintains her focus on finishing her senior year and looking forward to the college experience. 

She鈥檒l have at least one familiar classmate when she becomes a full-time student next fall: her father, Josh. He graduates in May with a bachelor鈥檚 degree in English and is already enrolled in graduate school for the academic year beginning in fall 2022.

For their part, parents Josh and Sarah Campbell said they were extremely proud of their daughter鈥檚 accomplishments, but weren鈥檛 surprised by her drive to excel academically and to be hyper-engaged in school activities.

鈥淚n a small town, it鈥檚 not unusual for someone to wear many hats,鈥� Sarah Campbell said. 鈥淚 think it鈥檚 been good for her to figure out how to work through it.鈥�

Added her father, Josh Campbell: 鈥淪he鈥檚 always taken classwork seriously 鈥� she loves to learn.鈥�
