Ava exemplifies academic and athletic excellence, achieving High Honor Roll throughout her four years of high school. She is an AP Scholar with Honor, a National Honor Society member, and a dedicated student-athlete.
Ava has been a 4-year varsity participant in both indoor and outdoor track and currently holds two Chesterton High School track records as a member of the Sprint Medley Relay and the 4×200 Relay teams. Her achievements on the field have also earned her the title of Scholar Athlete.
Beyond her academic and athletic pursuits, Ava is actively involved in her community. She has served as a peer tutor, a French Club member, and a camp counselor for the Park Program.
