The Rotary Club of Chambersburg has recognized two outstanding students from Chambersburg Area Senior High School.
CHAMBERSBURG -- Chambersburg Rotary has recognized Emily Nozzi and Tedra Ulrich as “Students of the Month” for November.
Dr. Stephen Overcash, chairman of the club's scholarship and Students of the Month program, said the two Chambersburg Area Senior High School seniors "are outstanding, and have contributed a lot to our town, school, and community."
Emily Nozzi was recognized as an exceptional student across all subject areas, challenging herself academically at CASHS with college prep, honors and advanced placement courses, leading to a remarkable 2.51 grade point average.
Apart from excelling academically, Nozzi displays her leadership skills through her position as an associate editor of "CASHS collections," a student-run literary magazine that is published annually. Her other extracurricular activities include being an active member of the Writer’s Workshop, Interact Club and the Gay-Straight Alliance. Outside of a busy schedule at school, she also works at The Shoe Dept and explores her creative interests: painting, reading and writing pieces for "CASHS collections." She also volunteers with her youth group, helping with children’s activities.
Nozzi's plans for the future include a career in the psychology field relating to research or clinical psychology, as she is following a passion fostered during her advanced placement psychology class; and becoming a published author.
Tedra Ulrich, also a senior, was being recognized as a remarkable student across all subject areas, challenging herself academically at CASHS with college prep, honors, and advanced placement classes, resulting in an outstanding 4.38 grade point average.
Aside from her superb academic record, Ulrich displays her leadership as Leo Club treasurer, German club president, and senior vice president of the National Honor Society. She is also involved with the rugby team and Mu Alpha Theta. Her academic and service accolades include the Leo Club Dedication to Service Award, first place in both the AuthorSHIP poetry contest and essay contest in 2014, first place in the Shippensburg Language contest in 2013, and Lenfest Scholarship recipient.
Ulrich still finds time to work at Rutter’s Farm Store, play both the guitar and drums and read anything politically stimulating, including George Orwell and feminist literature. She plans to attend Dickinson College and is looking into the fields of German, philosophy and English, and then further her study with a secondary degree in law or education at any top institution in New York City.
