Springfield's first U.S. Presidential Scholars Program awardee in recent memory found out the good news on Oct. 27 through a text from his mom. Theo Shields , who recently graduated from Thurston High School , was walking between classes at Boston University when he checked his phone. "Theo, you did it," the text from his mom said. What he did was earn one of the most prestigious designations for high school grads in the country. "Now that I have this award I would like to, if possible, transfer to a different university that might suit my academic needs a bit better," Shields said.

Traditionally, the scholars journey to Washington, D.C., for an award ceremony where they receive their medallions, but Shields said that doesn't appear to be happening this year.

Born in England, he read the first Harry Potter book around age 5 after moving to the Springfield as a toddler. Shields' mom worked for Lane Community College teaching English
