Senior of the Month
Matthew Brancato May Senior of the Month
We are proud to announce Matthew Brancato as the May Senior of the Month. Throughout his years at Schaumburg High School, Matt has proven to be a leader both in the classroom and out. He has maintained a high academic standing despite the time that he devotes to many outside activities. Matt's hard work, coupled with his willingness to help others, has distinguished him as a worthy recipient of this recognition.
In the classroom, Matt's success has been extraordinary in its scope. He has achieved high marks in many fields, and constantly challenges himself in a variety of subjects. His success has spanned diverse academic fields, which is a testament to his hard work and drive to succeed. Matt has been inducted to the National Honor Society, recognition of his academic success. Beyond the grades, however, Matt's enthusiasm and open embrace of his classmates contributes to the positive learning environment that helps all students succeed. He is one of those students whose presence puts all others at ease, a gift which he happily shares with his peers.
We were one of 70 Chicago-area schools that participated in the Fox News Challenge. As a school we raised nearly $105,000!Together with the other Fox challenge schools, $1,175,509 dollars were raised.
