Here’s Why Ella Was Shouted Out As A Star Student In Milford

We all know students who excel in academics, fine arts, or volunteer service. Here's one resident who is having an impact in Milford.

MILFORD, NH — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages, at debate lecterns, and 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 Craig Gallant, who nominated Ella, a senior at Milford High School. Not only is she an excellent student, who works lighting for theatre, plays sports, and participates in the recycling club.

How do you know the star local student?

As a student and as a lighting crew chief in theatre.

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

Ella is an excellent, well-rounded student and a great human being. For me, she has served on my lighting crew for all four years of her high school career, being an assistant crew chief as a sophomore and crew chief in both her junior and senior years. In addition to this, she has consistently excelled in all of the academic work she did for me, maintaining an A+ in both practical and academic work. She has also been on the varsity field hockey team for all four of those years, and worked tirelessly with the recycling club and roadside clean-up crew. She has been active in student government her entire time in high school, serving on the student council, executive council, and as her class VP, and all that time, maintaining the highest grades possible.

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

Ella is a fantastic person who has achieved a great deal in her four years in high school; she is not fantastic BECAUSE she achieved these things.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Ella, a senior at Milford High School!
