Fun Fact: In 1958, seventeen-year-old high school student Robert Heft from Lancaster High School, Ohio, designed a fifty-star flag to represent the new states of Hawaii and Alaska. It was accepted by Congress as the new U.S. flag. He originally received a “B -” for the project, but after discussing the grade with his high school teacher, Stanley Pratt, it was agreed that since the flag was accepted by Congress, his grade should be changed to an “A.”
