'She Advocates For Herself': Meet Eagan's Star Student

EAGAN, MN — 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 Amy Rush who nominated Macy, a 10th grader from Eagan.

How do you know the star local student?

My daughter

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

Macy was born with Aural Atresia, a rare ear deformity and complete hearing loss in her right ear and has worked so hard, getting straight As, advocating for herself in school, and was recently recognized as a star student in one of her classes.

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

Macy is an amazing student but an even more amazing person.

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