The June Casey’s Public House Student of the Month is Ava Bleckley, who is a Senior at Archbishop Carroll and received a Certificate of Achievement and a $25 gift card from Casey’s Public House, our Sponsor of this program.
If you keep up with area high school sports, you’ve likely seen the name of our June Student of the Month – Ava Bleckley. She is one of the stars of Archbishop Carroll’s girl’s lacrosse team, which is currently in line to add yet another year as undefeated – to the tune of 22 years and counting, in the Philadelphia Catholic League.
As a midfielder, Ava has attained many impressive statistics, including: member of the USA Select Women’s U18 Team, 2022 First Team All-PCL (Philadelphia Catholic League) and 2022 & 2021 All-Delco honors and 2022 PIAA 2A High School Lacrosse Championship. She is a four-year varsity starter in lacrosse, a four-year member of Carroll’s soccer team and she also played on the basketball team for two years. Ava plays on the Phantastix Club Team which is ranked No. 23 nationally by US Lacrosse Club.
Ava is also on the academic honor roll, and enjoys math and finance, among her other classes. As one of Caroll’s student ambassadors, Ava is also involved with community service.
The future is beyond bright for Ava, who will be attending James Madison University (JMU) in the fall, which recruited her early, for which she received a lacrosse scholarship.
At JMU, Ava intends to major in business/finance, but at this point, she is leaving her future career options open. Thank you so much Ava for sharing your incredible sports talents, as well as your academic milestones and community involvement with your Newtown Square and Marple Friends and Neighbors. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!
