Student Memo
Hopkinton High School 2024 - 2025
March Student of the Month
Throughout the year, the staff at HHS nominates and votes for students to be the Student of the Month. The Hopkinton High School March Student of the Month winner is 12th grader Holly Paharik.
Here are some of the things the staff had to say about Holly:
- Holly is an amazing student, person and athlete. She is the true definition of a Hiller. Holly has an amazing work ethic, a great attitude and a unique ability to focus in the classroom under any conditions. Even as a second semester senior, she is still working hard to understand materials and working with her peers to learn and grow. When I think of the model student, it is Holly. I am amazed that she has not won this award before, as she surely deserves it as a captain on the court, on the field and a leader in the classroom.
- Holly is one of the best kids I have ever had the pleasure of working with. What is so challenging about writing her a student of the month nomination is that she could be student of the month every month. She is an excellent leader, a great friend, and an incredibly important part of the HHS community. I can think of no person more deserving of this honor.
- Holly is one of the kindest students at HHS: she is a top-tier athlete, she won a Scholastic award for writing this year, she constantly turns out high quality work in class, and she seems to be able to get along with just about everyone. Really nice.
- Holly is one of those rare individuals that is exemplary at nearly anything she puts her mind to doing well, and there is a whole range of things that she puts her mind to doing with excellent results. Having had the chance to be her teacher at the beginning and ending of high school has only amplified the accolades. Holly really is a unicorn among students.
- Holly is a very special girl. She is one of the kindest, most genuine human beings that I have had the pleasure of meeting. She is a true leader, and cares as much for others as she cares for herself.
- Holly is a role model for her peers as a student, athlete, and leader. When I think of "What's a Hiller?", I think of Holly Paharik.
- Holly is a caring peer, confident leader, and always putting in the work to be the best that she can be.
- Holly is such a positive leader in our school. She radiates a positive energy and enthusiasm for being here, being a Hiller and being fully engaged in her classes, her teams and part of our school community. She is an excellent role model and will be sorely missed next year!
A big congrats to Holly on winning this award! And thank you to the HPTO and ReMax for sponsoring this award!
