STRATFORD, CT — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.

This submission comes from Robert, who nominated Jocelyn of Stratford.

How do you know the star local student?

Daughter

Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?

Jocelyn is driven and focused and has an outstanding work ethic. She not only takes 5 AP classes and maintains a very high average, she is also a member of several clubs, including the interact club and the Women’s empowerment club. She helps other students by tutoring physics. She has been inducted into 5 honor societies.

Jocelyn also volunteers for our church youth group. She was a co captain of the Cross Country team and is a member of the track team. While handling these responsibilities, she has also been in flight training and should receive her private pilot's license shortly after her 18th birthday.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?

Jocelyn has an outstanding work ethic.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Jocelyn!
