Nolan Reese, Mary McCall honored  

     Senior Nolan Reese and his English teacher, Mary McCall, represented their school in the 2011 Capital Area School Development Association Scholars' Recognition Program event.
      The Scholars' Recognition Program honors outstanding scholastic achievement by members of the graduating classes of the public, private, parochial and BOCES secondary schools in a ten-county area. High schools select students to recognize their scholarship, leadership, and service to their schools and communities. After these student scholars are chosen, they are asked to nominate a teacher who has influenced their lives in a significant way. Each student writes a statement explaining how that teacher has made a difference to him or her. Reese selected McCall for this honor.
        “Mrs. McCall always has kind words to say and has great knowledge of the student body. She makes College English an enjoyable class,” Reese said.
          “Nolan is one of the finest students I’ve worked with during my career. He’s motivated and dedicated, thinks deeply, and has a great sense of humor,” said McCall.
Reese and McCall attended the Scholars' Recognition Program honors dinner at the Desmond Hotel and Conference Center, Albany, on May 11.
            Nolan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Reese, is class president, band president, Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council president; and president of Students Against Destructive Decisions. He has also been active in Varsity Golf, Varsity Bowling, and the Peer Mentor Program and is student representative to the Board of Education. In the fall, he plans to attend Cornell to major in human biology, health and society.
