Amy Nickerson, a junior at Mystic Valley Regional Charter School, has been recognized as a Plymouth Rock Assurance Corporation and 98.5 The Sports Hub High School Hero for her exceptional commitment to academics, extracurricular activities and her community. The High School Heroes program honors student-athletes who consistently show exemplary work in the classroom, on the athletic field and within the community.
An avid performer, Amy is a member of multiple musical groups including the Young Opera Company of New England and the Handel and Haydn Society Young Women’s Chorus. Her commitment to music is evident as she will be performing Vivaldi’s Gloria at Symphony Hall in Boston with the Handel and Haydn Society chorus this March.
When Amy is not practicing music, the International Baccalaureate Diploma candidate and her Girl Scout troop are volunteering with senior citizens and supporting veterans within the community.
