Black belt.
And now, a recipient of one of the nation’s highest honors for high school students.
Grand Blanc senior Shriya Yarlagadda is one of 161 high school students in the country to receive the honor of U.S. Presidential Scholar, which recognizes the country’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors.
“That was an amazing honor,” Yarlagadda said. “I was so excited because I did not expect to be receiving a nomination at all.”
The invite-only program takes students with the best test scores and exceptional talent in visual, creative and performing arts to honor students each year.

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ- Women’s history month was first celebrated in 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland by men and women who campaigned for women’s rights. This international celebration has grown dramatically since and, today, almost all countries celebrate the influence and importance of female figures throughout history.
Two influential female leaders at Governor Livingston, Guidance Counselor Michelle Morin and senior Caitlin Dougherty, continue to use their unique experiences to offer young girls valuable lessons.
Morin, who is in her 16th year as a counselor and is also the adviser of Student Ambassadors, has seen firsthand the importance of female representation in the workplace. “It’s important in a learning environment,” she said, “for all people, including females, to have people to look up to, to emulate,” Morin said.
