Deer Park's Class of 2015 Top-10 Announced

Students were honored at an annual breakfast ceremony.

Deer Park High School’s top 10 ranked seniors were recently recognized at an annual breakfast ceremony in the school’s library, and valedictorian Sabrina Grunseich and salutatorian Aaron Zhang were announced.

The senior top 10 list – the academically astute students with the highest grade point averages in this year’s graduating class – was rounded out by Kyle Dillon (ranked third), Emily Fowler (fourth), William Keller (fifth), Mauricio Montes (sixth), Maria Skoljarev (seventh), Alban Astafa (eighth), Shahan Mian (ninth) and Jonathan Wagner (10th).

“The Top 10 breakfast is one of the highlights of each school year and an opportunity to recognize the top students for their hard work, dedication and diligence over the last four years,” said Principal James Cummings. “What is even more impressive than these students’ academic resumes are their accomplishments outside the classroom. They are in the top 10 because of their GPAs, but they are just as impressive as athlete, artists, musicians and community members. They make Deer Park High School a better place, and they make the Deer Park community a better place.”
