“I'm honored to be recognized as the salutatorian for the senior class of 2026. It is a reflection of my dedication and perseverance throughout these four years.

These 4 years have enabled me to meet new friends and develop strong leadership skills while juggling sports and a part time job. I plan on attending Rutgers-New Brunswick to pursue a degree in biology as a foundation for a future career in dentistry.”
