Star Student Has 4.6 GPA, Varsity Football Team Captain, Artist

SAN CLEMENTE, CA — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.

This submission comes from Stacy Gerken who nominated Brad, a senior in high school, of San Clemente.

How do you know the star local student?

He is my son

Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?

He has maintained a 4.6 GPA, taken the most rigorous classes that the high school offers, was the captain of the varsity football team, and started a small business painting customized shoes. He plays piano, guitar and is a singer. He played on the varsity football team for three years and mentored the younger players. He volunteered often to help run youth football camps and events. His hard work and dedication paid off with four recruitment offers to play football in college. The University of Chicago, Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins, and Bucknell University are all very rigorous, academic schools that only recruit students who have excellent grades, leadership, and perform on the field in top positions. Teachers, coaches, and friends. All would describe Brad as a very kind, motivated, intelligent, coachable and creative young man.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?

He is dedicated and motivated to be the best student, athlete and citizen that he can be.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future,Brad, senior in high school!
