'He Cares About His Community': Rocky Hill Star Student
We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one local resident who is having an impact in Rocky Hill.

ROCKY HILL, 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 Michele who nominated Nick - 11th grade of Rocky Hill.

Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
Aside from being a good student academically, he is involved in cross-country, drama club lead, president or officer in several clubs at the high school, including Lending Paws, Justice for All and Youth Coalition where he had volunteered in the community for 6 years. He also has a medical condition that he doesn't let deter him from doing anything.

He cares about his community and other people. He wants to make this world a better place, and I know he won't stop until he has an impact.
