HOUSTON (FOX 26) - In a few weeks Clear Springs High School will graduate more than 600 seniors - a class led academically for each of the past four years by Aaron Lassmann, a standout in the school band, an Eagle Scout and a gifted student who missed only one question on the ACT exam.Safe to say, he simply loves learning."I've just always enjoyed seeing how various subjects connect," said Lassmann
"This person had never been ranked with our class at all and essentially just leaped up to the top and pushed every single person down," said Lassmann.It took some digging, but Aaron learned the student who displaced him as valedictorian was a girl who had immigrated from China and according to several school documents, spent each of the previous three years in the grade below his own."Someone who has never been part of our class who has never experienced anything with us as a class," said Lassmann.Turns out, in order to push her way into the graduating class the younger student engaged in a flurry of on-line courses and was then allowed by Clear Springs to take a senior English course without first completing the junior class that precedes it - an action Lassmann and his parents call a clear violation of the District's own rules. It's also alleged the student failed to complete her on-line courses by a District imposed March 11th deadline - an outcome, if verified, which should have disqualified her from academic honors
