While all schools in the GSD program graduate outstanding students, we want to recognize Marysville High School for graduating their first three: Emma Rice, Dayo Adeoye, and Brandy Martinez-Torres. These students demonstrated that they have the knowledge skills, and mindset to be leaders in our increasingly global communities, and their projects reflect the core of CCWA’s mission.

Emma’s project: Emma found that there was a disconnect in her high school’s Spanish class. She arranged virtual exchanges with her class and a class in Mexico to foster language and cultural understanding. This fall Emma will be attending the Ohio University Honors Tutorial College and will major in astrophysics/physics.

 

 

Dayo’s project: Dayo created her own company: Foreign, Inc. It focuses on definitions of beauty around the world, empowering young women, and fostering self-esteem. For her project, she created a powerful documentary Dayo will attend the University of Chicago this fall.

 

 

Brandy’s project: Brandy watched her younger siblings struggle in school because their peers didn’t understand their Mexican culture. She decided to teach kindergarteners about her culture to help them appreciate those who are different from themselves. Brandy is going into the Air Force.

 

Congratulations again to all of our graduating Global Scholars!
