Reasons for Recognition:
Nathaniel was chosen as the Social Studies Department’s recipient of the S.O.A.R Award because; he truly loves Social Studies and in particular United States History. Nathaniel has been an excellent social studies student who has distinguished himself academically in all four of his high school years at Methuen High School. He has been intellectually inquisitive and involved in all his social studies classes. His passion for history is evident because the time he spends on his own to learn more about subjects discussed in class. As a student, Nathaniel is not just a receiver of knowledge; he is an active contributor. Based on his credentials, there is no doubt he has a bright future ahead of him. He is a fine young man who is a credit to his family, friends, and teachers. For all of these reasons the Social Studies Department feels that Nathaniel Connors is most deserving of this month’s S.O.A.R Award.
