Quote from teacher: "John possesses exceptionally high levels of academic ability, motivation, and service to others," guidance counselor Jen Foldvary said. "His compassion and empathy for others is one of John's best qualities. He is an amazing role model for the students at St. Mary Catholic Central High School and will be missed greatly by his classmates when he graduates this spring."
