Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. We’re working to let all your neighbors know the individual stories behind the leaderboard.

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

Sophie strives to be a leader in all aspects of her life. She serves as captain on her high school and club soccer teams, is on her class board for the Cherry Blossom Chapter of National Charity League, and is active in student government at Bishop O'Connell HS. She has worked hard in her academics as well and is a member of the National Honor Society.

This past summer, she coached soccer camps and a youth all-star team, sharing her love of the game with younger kids. She's also active in her community, volunteering with Honor Flights, Food for Others, and several other NCL-affiliated philanthropy organizations.

She's committed to play soccer at Washington University in St. Louis, where she plans to study business starting next year.

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

Sophie is one of the hardest working people I know but she always makes time for her friends and family.

Keep up the great work, Sophie!
