Student Spotlight:
Emily Quinn '18
Each week the Scecina Student Spotlight introduces the Crusader Community to a student who has been a recipient of the President's Academic Excellence Award.
Emily Quinn is a Scecina sophomore with a passion for reading. She names Vikki Wakefield ("Friday Never Leaving") and John Green ("Looking For Alaska") among her favorite authors. Emily finds particular inspiration from Green, trying to model her life after his motivating words "What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?"
