Grays Ferry’s Tierra Holmes will attend Howard University next month.
Gianna Jacoby, of the 1100 block of Ritner Street, works hard at everything she does. Her efforts have not gone unnoticed as she has accumulated an impressive array of academic awards including the student of the month, super kid and school spirit awards as well as First Honors for her extraordinary grades and behavior as a fifth-grader at Epiphany of Our Lord School, 1248 Jackson St.
Most high school seniors can hardly wait to get out of school. They coast through that final arduous year of schooling counting the days until they can sprint out of the classroom, grab their cap and gown and walk out of the school one last time. Few, however, carry the passion, maturity and dedication of senior Alexa Janco of Ss. Neuman-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St.
Seventeen–year-old Christina Floyd always seems to be smiling. The 12th-grader at Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., has had a lot to smile about as she continues to excel inside and outside of the classroom. Her success has not gone unnoticed by her peers and teachers.
