Superintendent Michael S. Nelson and Principal Michael Devoll are pleased to recognize five Old Rochester Regional High School seniors who were honored for their academic accomplishments at the 36th annual South Coast Conference Academic All-Star Banquet.
On Thursday, April 17, Old Rochester Regional High School seniors Nolan Bushnell, Dillon Furtado, Caitlin O’Donnell, Xavier Pateakos and Aubrey Sylvia-Everett were recognized as South Coast Conference Academic All-Stars during the banquet held at Independence Harbor in Assonet.
The event was also attended by Superintendent Nelson, Principal Devoll and National Honors Society advisors Kathleen Brunelle and Randy Allain.
Each year, South Coast Conference schools recognize the top five students of the graduating class with the South Coast Conference Academic All-Star Award. The chosen students reflect each of the National Honor Society’s four pillars – Service, Character, Scholarship and Citizenship – and have positively impacted their schools and community.
The South Coast Conference includes Apponequet Regional High School, Bourne High School, Joseph Case High School, Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School, Fairhaven High School, Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School, Old Rochester Regional High School, Seekonk High School, Somerset Berkley Regional High School and West Bridgewater High School.
“I am so proud of these five students, and I look forward to seeing all the great things they accomplish in the future after graduation,” said Superintendent Nelson. “These distinctions as South Coast Conference Academic All-Stars were highly deserved. It is such a privilege to have them represent Old Rochester Regional High School and watch them receive this recognition.”
“Each year, I look forward to this event and I couldn’t be any prouder of our five South Coast Conference Academic All-Stars. This is such a fitting way to kick off the celebration of accomplishments for our Class of 2025,” Principal Devoll said. “I have been privileged to attend 17 of these banquets over the years, and each one perfectly captures the amazing accomplishments of our top five ranked seniors.”
