Micaiah Joubert Makes History as Timberview High School’s First African American Golf Scholarship Recipient

On a momentous afternoon at Timberview High School, history was made as Micaiah Joubert, a talented student-athlete, completed a groundbreaking signing ceremony. On Friday, April 28 at 2:00 pm, Joubert inked her National Letter of Intent (NLI) to pursue her degree and play golf at Prairie View A&M University. This remarkable achievement marks her as the first African American student-athlete from Timberview High School to secure a Golf Scholarship.

Joubert’s golfing journey began at the tender age of 4, when her father Wendell Joubert introduced her to the sport. Her dad was also the first African American principal at the original Middle School (Rogene Worley) in Mansfield ISD. A Barbie golf set became her gateway to a lifelong passion. Alongside her father and brother, Kainan, she embraced the game, honing her skills and nurturing her love for golf. At just 7 years old, Joubert fearlessly entered her first competitive tournament, challenging girls aged 11-13. Against the odds, she claimed a commendable 4th place, igniting a fire within her to excel further.

Driven by her dedication to the sport, Joubert has continued to thrive both on and off the golf course. Boasting an impressive 3.96 GPA, she ranks in the top 8% of her class, exemplifying her commitment to academic excellence. As the captain of the golf team since 8th grade, she has displayed exceptional leadership skills. Additionally, Joubert actively participates in various esteemed organizations, including the Student Government Association (SGA), National Honor Society (NHS), and the Coaches’ Advisory Group.

While Joubert’s aspiration is to play on a competitive collegiate golf team, her goals extend beyond personal success. She aims to contribute significantly and make an immediate impact on her future team. Recognizing the importance of giving back, she initiated an annual GirlsGolfToo clinic in her community, empowering young girls to discover and embrace the sport she loves.

As Joubert embarks on this exciting new chapter, her historic signing represents a triumph for both herself and her community. Breaking barriers and shattering stereotypes, she paves the way for future generations of African American student-athletes to follow their dreams in the realm of golf.

With her talent, determination, and unwavering spirit, Micaiah Joubert is poised to leave an indelible mark on the golfing world. As she sets foot on the greens of Prairie View A&M University, her unwavering pursuit of excellence will undoubtedly continue to inspire and uplift those around her.
