Every month during the school year, a student is selected from one of the five local high schools to be honored as Student of the Month.

Helena Martin
April 2013
Germantown Academy

Helena is a senior at Germantown Academy and will attend George Washington University next year.

Mr. Peter McVeigh from GA writes letters on the students that are being honored by us. They are always works of art within themselves. His thoughts and praise for Helena were equally eloquent. In part, Mr. McVeigh said, “…Helena is thoughtful, sensitive and compassionate and has consistently expressed deep and abiding empathy for the welfare of others, both in her commitment to our course and to her engagement in life outside the classroom as well. She’s one our more vibrant senior leaders in the Community Service Organization, she has been a driving force in so many of our outreach programs to the poor, the underprivileged and the marginalized, both in our community and in the larger world community as well. “

Rachel Gordon & Katie Paul
November, 2012
Upper Dublin High School

Upper Dublin High School students, Katie Paul and Rachel Gordon are our Students of the Month for November. They spoke together about a non-profit they founded, KPRG Movement (http://www.kprgmovement.com/). While in 8th grade they became interested in raising funds for spinal cord research after reading the book “11 Seconds” which is about Travis Roy’s traumatic spinal cord injury. Katie and Rachel were both involved in dance so they started using dance as a way to raise funds. To date they raised over $4,000 for spinal cord research.
