The August Rey Azteca Student of the Month is Carys Doyle, a rising Senior at Penncrest High School. Carys received a Certificate of Achievement, along with a Gift Card from Rey Azteca, the Sponsor of this program.
Carys has been a member of the Penncrest Field Hockey team for 3 years, and has previously volunteered at the Rose Tree Optimist field hockey summer camp. She’s a member of the Penncrest Academic team, Science Olympiad and she’s medaled in the PA State Competition for Forensics and Epidemiology, as well as competitions at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pennsylvania.
As a member of the Penncrest Class Council for the past 3 years, Carys has been part of the Medical Scholars Club for 3 years and served as Vice President of Internships this past year. She is part of several National Honor Societies, and was elected Vice President for the 24-25 school year of the National Science Honor Society. A straight-A student, having completed 8 AP classes as of junior year, Carys received the prestigious Penncrest Academic Excellence medal for all of her years at Penncrest so far. She was awarded AP Scholar last year from the College Board.
Carys is currently one of three student liaisons for the Rose Tree Media School District school board, and last winter, she worked with the Penncrest principal, Mr. Roth, to streamline a process to make it easier for students to sign up for community service. Carys was also elected a member of the Congressional Youth Cabinet with Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon.
We cannot even imagine what wonderful things you’ll do in the future Carys, but we’re so glad to have this little peek inside of who you are now.
