2025 Student of Excellence

In April of 2025, my school administration selected myself, along with three of my classmates, to be recognized at Resource Training and Solutions' 2025 Students of Excellence ceremony. This banquet recognized the regions top students who also displayed leadership and hard work. It was a semi-formal event that hosted around 30 schools and their top students. It was a great honor to be selected to represent my school at this event.
