There are many things Marc loves about Glenwood Academy. He LOVES math, and his favorite teacher is Ms. Martin. He also loves playing basketball at Glenwood Academy.

“When the going gets tough, the tough get going,” said Ms. Martin, when asked about Marc. “Marc is the toughest working student I know, and he always gets going on his work, even when it challenges him. I have watched him grow into a wonderful young man with this mindset and I believe he will conquer anything that lies ahead.”

In his free time, Marc plays basketball, reads books and loves going to the movies. He hopes to one day attend Marian Catholic High School, because that is where his sister goes to school.

When he gets older, Marc wants to be an NBA player because he loves basketball that much!

When asked what his favorite thing is about Glenwood, Marc says, Glenwood is a great school and has so many fun activities for me!”
