President Derin with Andrew Plumpton and Principal Kellie
Andrew, our January Student of the Month, is a National Honor Society member, has served as a Freshman Mentor, served on the AP Panel that helps freshmen and sophomores to achieve success, is on the Brown University Youth Advisory Board. He has had several part-time jobs. What makes Andrew doubly outstanding is his volunteerism during his high school career. He assisted in summer Basketball camp, cleanup duties at our beaches, assisted in Church at various events, hosted a showing of The Art to Living docuseries, assisted at Vacation Bible School. Andrew is leaning toward Biomedical Engineering and hopes to attend Georgia Tech. We look forward to hearing more from this young man.
