LINCOLN – Bhavya Chatragadda is the valedictorian of Lincoln High School’s Class of 2021, joined at the top by salutatorian Emily Ariza.
Chatragadda, daughter of Anka and Sujatha Chatragadda of River Road in Lincoln, has a GPA of about 4.11.
“I believe you should put 100 percent into everything you do,” Chatragadda told The Breeze. There’s a personal satisfaction that comes from “doing something to the best of your ability, no matter your ability.”
An AP Scholar with distinction and Harvard Book Award recipient, Chatragadda said she has always taken her academics seriously, but said hearing she was ranked at the top of her class at the end of freshman year motivated her to want to maintain that standing.
