Rey Azteca is proud to recognize Matthieu Rowland, a dynamic and accomplished senior at Penncrest High School, as the August Student of the Month. In honor of his exceptional commitment to both academics and community service, Matthieu has received a Certificate of Achievement and a gift card, generously provided by Rey Azteca, sponsor of this award program.
Matthieu is an active and engaged student, holding membership in numerous honor societies, including the National Honor Society, Science National Honor Society, Computer Science Honor Society, Math National Honor Society and World Language Honor Society. He also serves as the Treasurer of the National English Honor Society.
Born in France and raised in the UK until the age of five, Matthieu is trilingual—fluent in French, as well as both British and American English.
His dedication to service is equally impressive. Matthieu has volunteered consistently at the Media Food Bank and Delco Food Bank throughout all four years of high school. He is also a devoted volunteer with Penncrest Area Creeks & Trails (PACT), where he co-coordinates trash clean-ups at Penncrest and Ridley Creek State Park.
Athletically, Matthieu has shown leadership and excellence as a three-year captain of the Penncrest Soccer Team and a two-year captain of the Varsity Tennis Team. He is also a Certified Soccer Referee.
This fall, Matthieu will attend the University of Virginia (UVA), where he plans to major in Finance and Accounting. He intends to participate in a study abroad program in Spain, and aspires to build a career in finance or accounting, either in the United States or internationally.
Congratulations, Matthieu, on your well-deserved recognition! You are an amazing student, athlete and community volunteer, and Friends & Neighbors is proud to honor you.
