They were chosen for a host of reasons: "He has the most positive attitude of any student I've ever met (Mahopac's Richard Sparozic, Environmental Science); "She's an amazing peer leader who gives 110% (Ossining's Lauren Miele, Fashion Design); "She's passionate, bright, and vibrant" (Putnam Valley's Ashley Taylor, Culinary).
