Mendham High Senior Honored For Performing Arts Prowess

MENDHAM, N.J. – Zachary Catron is ending his high school career on a great note.

The Mendham High School student has been named with 11 others as the Mayo Performing Arts Center’s Music Students Of The Month for April.

Catron was nominated by teacher Patricia Danner, who said:

Not only is Zachary a prolific, award winning composer, but he is a fine player and enthusiastic student. Zachary play violin in the orchestra, sings in the choir, and is an accomplished pianist. He is the choir president this year and also is the student director for the all-male a cappella group, Men In Black. Zach plans to pursue a major in Music Composition, and we have been lucky enough to perform his compositions and arrangements for the last four year. He is an incredibly talented student, but more importantly his loyalty and dedication to the music program make him a great candidate for this award.

The group of honorees was recognized onstage at the performing arts center in Morristown on April 7.
