Congratulations to our 2024 Outstanding Young Citizens.
St. Joseph High School, 11
After high school, I plan to attend college to study environmental science and possibly minor in music. I would like to continue playing disc golf in college as well as Ultimate Frisbee.
Springdale Junior/Senior High School, 12
I plan to major in Diagnostic Medical Sonography, specializing in cardiac ultrasound. As I gain work experience, I plan to continue expanding my knowledge and become cross trained in other ultrasound registries. In the future, I hope to take a position as a travel sonographer.
Quaker Valley High School, 12
Although I am still deciding where I want to go for college, I plan to study Information Science specializing in Cybersecurity. This field matches who I am: I enjoy working with others to solve a problem and I like the exciting and constantly changing field of Computer Science.
Kiski Area High School, 12
My future plana are to attend the University of PennWest Edinboro, majoring in early-childhood education, minoring in speech pathology. While attending college, I and my fellow FLP members, will be working closely with the Winter Guard International (WGI) DEI Committee and Executive Board members in hopes of creating initiatives/programs to build social growth within the arts. I also plan to continue working at Small World Daycare, as it prepares me to have my own classroom someday.
Mt Pleasant Area Junior/Senior High School, 12
I plan to pursue my future goals by attending The Citadel, where I aim to study Business and Management. Alternatively, another option I am looking at is Bloomsburg University, where I will play on the women’s golf team and study Business.
Serra Catholic High School, 12
My future plans are attending Saint Vincent College. I will be continuing my athletic career playing for the Saint Vincent Volleyball Team. I will be majoring in Communications, and Minoring in Spanish.
Oakland Catholic High School, 11
After graduating next year, I hope to attend a four year university majoring in Biology and minoring in classics. I plan to hopefully start a career in genetics and become a genetic engineer.
Pine-Richland High School, 12
This Fall, I plan to attend Temple University to study Anthropology and History. I hope to continue to work with people in both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia that are helping to form new, more empathetic systems of justice, governance, and mutual aid. Professionally, I hope to teach at the collegiate level, although the path forward will probably twist and turn like a dozen more times.
St. Joseph High School, 11
I plan to go to college and study physical therapy, I also plan to look into more volunteer opportunities over the summer as well as continuing my current ones. I also plan to take more advanced college credit classes for my senior year.
