National Math Stars

Round Rock ISD students are receiving national recognition for exceptional mathematical ability through programs offered by National Math Stars (NMS), a nonprofit that supports mathematically extraordinary students beginning in elementary school, which partners with our district.

Michelle Moak, Gifted and Advanced Academic Services Coordinator for Round Rock ISD said these recognitions reflect Round Rock ISD’s commitment to identifying and nurturing mathematical talent across our community.

“National Math Stars recognition places our students among the top math learners in the country, and it opens doors to advanced learning opportunities, years long mentorship, substantial financial support and national networks. This helps to ensure our students have access to pathways that help them thrive,” said Moak.

Of the selected students, two were named 2025 National Math Stars. Yeva W, from Great Oaks Elementary School, and Fawzaan K. H. Y., from Anderson Mill Elementary School, were selected for the 2025 National Math Stars-Voyager Star program. The National Math Stars core program provides each student with more than $100,000 in mentorship, enrichment opportunities, and other resources over 10 years or until high school graduation. This support includes personalized math mentoring, enrichment opportunities, advanced coursework pathways, and STEM-focused summer camps.

In addition to our Voyager stars, several Round Rock ISD students were recognized through the National Math Stars’ Pathfinder program, which identifies students with demonstrated math potential and connects families with resources to support advanced learning pathways.

Round Rock ISD offers its congratulations to all of these young participants.
