Although a native of Dallas, Texas, Miss Clark is quite familiar with Duncanville because her father has lived in the area for a little over 30 years! Lakesha graduated salutatorian of her senior class in 2007 from Townview Law Magnet and has been active in the pageant circuit ever since. She won the title of Miss Law Enforcement while attending Townview Law Magnet High School in 2007 and was later crowned Miss Prairie View A&M University in 2011.

Her platform is, "Girls 4 S.T.E.M.

This April, the universities selected 350 outstanding Texas high school seniors as interview finalists for Terry Scholarships.

We are indebted to the 57 Scholar Alumni who joined the members of our Board of Directors in serving on eleven interview panels to select the new Scholars. These freshmen Scholars will join their fellow upperclass Scholars next fall in College Station and Austin as part of a total anticipated 550 Scholars: the largest group of Terry Scholars ever enrolled at one time. The spring of 2002 also brought graduation to 71 Terry Scholars, many of whom graduated with honors and are moving on to further their education in graduate studies or Howard L. Terry join the workforce. We also mark 2002 by paying tribute to one of the Foundations most dedicated advocates. Coach Darrell K. Royal retired from the Foundation board after fourteen years of outstanding leadership and service. A friend for many years, Darrell was instrumental in the formation of the Terry Foundation and served on the Board of Directors since its inception. We will miss his seasoned wisdom, his keen wit, and his discerning ability to judge character: all traits that contributed to his success as a coach and recruiter and helped him guide the University of Texas football team to three national championships.
