Congratulations to Bradley Burke for being named the Patriot Bank Student of the Month for December! Bradley was selected by the Arlington High School Social Studies Department for exemplifying the tenants of the Portrait of an ACS Graduate, which include Communicate Effectively, Collaborate Intentionally, Cultivate Creativity, Be Resilient and Lead with Empathy. Here's what the selection committee had to say about Bradley:

Brad exemplifies being resilient. Several social studies teachers have noticed that he has grown and matured over the past year. He is very intelligent and has gotten off to a great start for his senior year. He has pushed himself to become a top student in his AP social studies classes. It's obvious that he has been setting goals for himself and is achieving them! 

The Patriot Bank Student of the Month program will recognize one student in the months of September - April. One of those eight students will then be selected for a $1,000 scholarship sponsored by Patriot Bank.
