Masuk High School QB Has 'Tenacity & Tough Mentality,' Says Proud Mom

MONROE, CT — Graduation is a major milestone and deserves to be celebrated! That's why Patch and T-Mobile have teamed up to recognize our community's outstanding 2024 graduates.

This submission comes from Stephanie Klein who nominated her son Rob, a soon-to-be graduate of Masuk High School.

Tell us why he deserves to be nominated!

Rob is motivated, works very hard and never gives up. For 4 years, he has represented Masuk High School as a student athlete, while also maintaining good grades. As a senior, he helped lead the Masuk football team as a Captain and Quarterback. Although he suffered a broken wrist and other injuries during the season, his tenacity and tough mentality did not allow him to quit. He was instrumental in helping his team beat rival Newtown High during their Thanksgiving Eve matchup and he had a great run in quarterfinals against Cheshire orchestrating 4 touchdowns. He has also volunteered at various community events, holds a part time job and is a great all around person! He looks forward to attending University of Rhode Island in the Fall!

What's one thing you want everyone to know about your graduating student nominee?

Rob is a serious gym goer and weightlifter. He’s even won a couple lifting competitions. Yes, he is very strong physically, but even stronger mentally, as he’s had many serious setbacks and challenges in life, but he never gives up!!!

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Rob!
