Sarina will attend SUNY Fredonia this fall to study Musical Theatre. At North Rockland, she served as a cast representative for the Drama Society and was active in the Italian Club, Chamber Choir, and Writers Club. Sarina has performed in community theatre for 14 years and volunteers with Smiles for Miles. She was selected as one of 600 students from 10 northeastern states to perform Alto I in the NAfME All-Eastern Treble Choir during the 2024 Eastern Division Conference in Hartford, Connecticut.

Giuliana, Salutatorian of North Rockland’s Class of 2025, will attend Clemson University to major in Mechanical Engineering and minor in Sports Communications.

Helping young people in our community realize their dreams is an important part of the Down to Earth mission,” stated Risa Hoag, spokesperson for the company.

Down to Earth Living staff use five criteria to determine the winners each year. First and foremost is academic performance which is based upon GPA and other available test scores, followed by participation in extracurricular activities, applications and club memberships, and community service. A topical essay is also required to demonstrate the student’s ability to communicate, and the student must also show the specific goal-directed activities taken toward achieving his or her future career.
