Marines, Then College For Biochemistry: Windsor Locks Star Student
We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one resident who is making an impact in Windsor Locks.

WINDSOR LOCKS, 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 a proud mom who nominated Carrie of Windsor Locks.
Star local student’s name: Carrie
Star local student’s home state: Connecticut
Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
My daughter has gone through a lot in her life. She has her goals, she wants to go into the marines, and then college to do biochemistry. I couldn't be more proud of her. Her grades are usually honors. We are just so proud of her.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?
When Carrie puts her mind to something, she accomplishes it.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Carrie!
