Our 9/8 Student of the Week is Brooke Franetovich!

Brooke is a Senior here at Roxbury High School. She is not only a good athlete on the field, but she is also a great student in the classroom, as she has received high praise from her teachers and friends!

“I am a senior at Roxbury High School. I play lacrosse and field hockey. I also take part in Interact club, and I am very lucky to havethose opportunities. In my free time, I like to hang out with my friends and stay active. My favorite class in school so far is sports media. I like to be creative and make new things using Canva. I’m hoping to succeed this school year and take pride in my work to get ready for college,” said Brooke.

Brooke also noted that she lives by the following quote: “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”― Mae West

Congratulations to Brooke, our 9/8 Student of the Week!
