Shrewsbury honors its scholars
19.05.11
SHREWSBURY, Massachusetts – Shrewsbury this week honored the “senior scholars” of the class of 2011, with an appearance before the Shrewsbury School Committee and a celebratory breakfast with SHS staff. This years group is markedly brilliant, of course, but moreover the most diverse group of honorees I’ve ever seen. Representing the top 10 in the school (11 this year due to a tie), this group is far different than those who have come before. For one thing, we actually have 7 boys, and only 4 girls. Historically, the top 10 has been heavily weighted in favor of the girls. This is far from a group of bookworms. We have accomplished athletes in baseball, soccer and track, we have brilliant musicians, singers, and actors. We have those destined for music, and those who will undoubtedly be working to put men on Mars. The one thing they share, however, is a passion for learning, and in doing so they set thew bar for others to follow.
