Milford's Caden Cited As Star Student: Here’s Why
We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one local resident who is having an impact in Milford.

MILFORD, CT — 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 Sandy who nominated her grandaughter, Caden, a junior at Jonathan Law High School.
Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
I am proud to nominate Caden as a star local student. She has shown leadership serving as Vice President of her sophomore class and serving in the roles of Vice President and Secretary of the Future Business Leaders of America and still maintain first honors and eligibility for the National Honor Society.
Most importantly, she has shown determination and hard work participating with the girls field and track team as a hurdler and sprinter. She has set several school records as well as her own and has competed in State, New England and National competitions. She also received an SCC Scholar Athlete award for volleyball.
While working hard to achieve her own goals she was instrumental in helping and tutoring her younger brother during the pandemic. She also maintains a part-time job to help with finances and to save for college.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?
Caden is not only focused on her own achievements but cares very much for others and helping them reach their goals.
She has a passion for animals and spends weekends helping her mom with caring for dogs who owners are out of town.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future,Caden!
