DHS's Students of the Month
Douglas High School announces Students of the Month for
September 2015
Douglas High School would like to congratulate two of their
seniors who have been chosen as Students of the Month for September
2015-Alexandra Corso and Michael Pepin
Alexandra Corso is a fascinating, dedicated, top student who
enjoys her involvement in many rigorous courses, and various activities at
Douglas High School. She is the Soprano Section Leader, and a member of the
award-winning chorus since 9th grade as well as a strong contributor
to the acapella chorus. Last year and this year Alex has been active in the
drama club In 9th and 10th grade she served as class
secretary and was a member of the math team. This year Alex and another
classmate have co-founded the Robotics Club which starts in November. Alex also
joined the golf team this year to expand her skill level in this sport. Last
year, Alex earned recognition for receiving the University of Rochester Xerox
Award for being the top computer student. In the 10th and 11th
grades she earned the top Math Award in her class. This year she has been
recognized as a Commended Student in the National Merit Scholarship Program,
and has received the National School Development Council Award for Academic
Growth and Student Leadership in Learning. In addition to her academics Alex
balances working a part time job at Blackstone Valley Music where she is also a
violin student. This year she has formed a rock band in which she is the lead
singer. Last summer, Alex was on of 50 students chosen out of 1500 applicants
to attend the Samsung App Academy. She wrote an essay about creating an app
about food allergies and was taught how to begin to create just that. Alex
plans on attending Women in Engineering Day with a classmate at the end of
October. Next year Alex will be moving on to college to major in game design
and animation.
Michael Pepin is an outstanding, talented young man who has
been on the honor roll each year of his high school career. He is balancing a
rigorous schedule which includes three AP courses as well as being an asset for
the DHS Varsity Soccer Team. During his junior year he was invited to compete on
the Dual Valley Conference All-Stars team and Central Mass All-Stars team!
Michael is world-traveler. This year he travelled to England with his club team
to compete on the international field. His team was victorious against the
international teams three times there. The dedication and skill he brings to
the game has earned him the title of Captain for his senior year. Michael
helped beat our long-time rival, the Sutton Sammies, by scoring the only goal
at their homecoming! Then, at our homecoming Michael scored one of three goals
scored to contribute towards another win against Sutton. His athleticism will
be welcomed by the track team this year. Michael is an active participant on
the field, as well as off the field. He gives back to the community through his
philanthropic volunteer work at the local soup kitchen, and the Webster
Care-Collaborative. Over the past three years he has been a common feature on
the sidelines refereeing and/or coaching our local teams. Just like he gives
back to the community,Mike gives back to the Tigers! Since sophomore year he
has been a member of the student council, and during his junior and senior
years he has taken the initiative to become the class historian. We look
forward to seeing the senior slide-show he is designing for our graduating
class!
