Students chosen as U.S. Presidential Scholars receive an expense-paid trip to Washington, D. C. in June and the U.S. Presidential Scholars medallion at a ceremony sponsored by the White House. During their visit to Washington, Scholars will meet important national and international figures, including government officials, educators, authors, musicians and scientists.
“I am pleased that Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia selected Cheyenne Boone, an exemplary senior at North Rose-Wolcott High School, as a nominee from New York State, for the Presidential Scholars Program. Cheyenne, who I recommended for this prestigious honor, is a member of the National Honor Society and is involved in many class activities. She is a scholar athlete and excels in art with an emphasis on photography. Her teachers praise her as a positive role model for her two siblings as well as other members of the student body. I wish her much good fortune as she moves forward in the Presidential Scholars Program.”North Rose-Wolcott School Counselor Amy Beresford recommended Cheyenne to Assemblyman Oaks.
“Cheyenne embodies the academic and social principles of the school. She makes my job easier by being a role model to the other students, both academically and socially. Cheyenne will do well no matter what path she chooses.”Cheyenne is the daughter of John and Margaret Boone of Wayne Center Road, Lyons. Amy Beresford said Cheyenne is undecided where she will go to college and what she will study.
