Highlight on 4 of the Top Ten

On Monday, April 23, eight students were added to the Top Ten in the Senior class, joining their classmates Alexandria Fazzari and Sheila Magrini, who were awarded Valedictorian and Salutatorian, respectively. Mass was celebrated to honor the students for their academic achievements, and is a great opportunity to encourage underclassmen to strive for scholastic excellence. The eight students to round out the Top Ten were announced by Sister Kathy in alphabetical order at the end of Mass, and each was given purple and gold cords that they will wear at graduation as a mark of their accomplishments. The Top Ten consists of Kerriann Cooper, Amaya Escandon, Megan Kendall, Megan Peropat, Taylor Reilly, David Schuld, Lauren Taylor, Caitlin Wilson, and of course, the Valedictorian Alex Fazzari and Salutatorian Sheila Magrini.

Kerriann Cooper will be attending Fairfield University in the fall, and will be the only St. Rose Senior to do so, which Kerri feels is both exciting and daunting. She plans to study business, and is looking forward to beginning the next step towards her future.

Amaya Escandon will be attending New York University next year with plans to study foreign relations. She is honored to have been recognized for her academic achievements from her time here, and feels that her successes in the classroom enabled her to attend such a prestigious university.

Next year, Megan Kendall will be attending The University of Notre Dame, and is currently undecided as to what her intended major will be, but is hoping to find an interest that can become a career while she is in college.

Megan Peropat will be attending The Catholic University of America in the fall and is planning to study nursing. She was very excited to have achieved this accomplishment and feels that it was a nice surprise.

These four young women are committed to academic excellence and will undoubtedly continue to be as we wish them good luck in college and success in their future endeavors!
