“Some of the courses I’m taking this year is Music Theory with Mr. [Andre] Rizzuto; Multicultural Literature with Mrs. [Gina] Colica and Ms. [Barbara] Noble to name a few,” Mr. Rodriguez said. “Some of the clubs and activities I’m going to be involved in are the debate club, varsity badminton, esports, and K-Factor.”

Mr. Rodriguez said he’s “very excited” to participate in the K-Factor talent show after illness kept him on the sidelines last year. “I’m looking forward to work with Mrs. [Kelly] Krycinski and Mike Zigon, who were a great help last year and were great to work with.”

“One career interest that I’ve been eyeing is to become a musician/singer and be able to just do what I love and make my family proud,” Mr. Rodriguez said.
