The following was submitted in an Elks Club Press Release:
We congratulate Senior, Megan Pierce of Rochester, for being selected by the Old Rochester Regional High School faculty and staff. Megan is a senior who has become involved in numerous aspects of Old Rochester life. She is a hard working student who continues to work on improving her academic performance.
Despite having been plagued by a number of medical problems over her high school years, she has worked to keep a positive outlook each day. Megan has very clear goals for college and her future career as a special needs elementary school teacher. She knows the value and the demands of such a career, since she has worked closely with her younger sister, who has many academic and personal challenges.
She has had major roles in several Drama Club, is a member of the Paw Prints staff and sings in the chorus. She has been the Old Rochester winner of the Poetry Out Loud school competition and performed well in regional competition in Yarmouth. This busy young woman has also won at several levels in the Lions Club Speech Competition.
Despite her busy schedule she also works at Uncle John’s. Each day Megan strives to be a friend to all and a positive contributor to her school and family.
