  • Scholar Athlete, Schuylerville Central School

    Schuylerville Central School

    I know this is from over 20 years ago, but getting this award meant a lot to me. Achieving the Scholar Athlete award was a total surprise. In my earlier high school years, being bullied and being called a "Nerd and Geek" all the time I had a hard time. However I channeled my inner drive to keep getting good grades and pushing myself athletically on the track and cross country program, ultimately being given the honor of being team captain for both sports my senior year.
