FALL RIVER The following students graduating from Bishop Connolly High School at the academic top of the senior class.
1 - David R. Abgrab, Valedictorian, son of Russell and Paula Abgrab of Westport. David is a member of the National Honor Society and Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica (Portuguese language) and has been named an AP Scholar with Distinction. A four-year member of the Debate and Mock Trial teams, David most recently served as captain of both. This fall, David will major in chemical engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he was offered the Dean’s Scholarship for academic excellence.
The Bertie Green Junior Travel Award from la Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica is usually given to about 20 students a year. However, the pandemic has narrowed it down to two people and a Gerstell student is one of them.
