The September Casey’s Public House Student of the Month is Caleb Miller, who is a Freshman at Marple Newtown High School (MNHS). Caleb received a Certificate of Achievement and a $25 gift card from Casey’s Public House, our Sponsor of this program.
As an honor roll student for all three years at Paxon Hollow Middle School (PHMS), Caleb hopes to continue this streak through his years at MNHS, while also enjoying many of the activities that high school has to offer. Sports are one of Caleb’s many passions, including playing football and running track. This past spring in track, he was proud to attain his personal best in the mile run, at just 5 minutes 31 seconds.
As a member of the school choir, Caleb also auditioned and was chosen to represent PHMS in the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association (PMEA) district choir. This is quite an accomplishment because just three to five students from each of the surrounding middle schools came together for a single day of rehearsal, and then performed an entire concert later that evening.
Caleb participates in the Youth Group at Springton Lake Presbyterian Church in Newtown Square, where he also volunteers during the summer to be a youth leader at the church’s Bible camp. He’s an active member of Boy Scout Troop 430, where he’ll be completing his Eagle Scout project this fall in order to obtain the rank of Eagle. As a real history buff, Caleb is thrilled that we live in a place with so much history right here, in the Philadelphia and surrounding area. “We can learn about something and then see it first hand,” shared Caleb.
Caleb has been dreaming of going to Penn State for college ever since he was little and thinks he would like to major in a Sports-medicine related field. He enjoys coaching and mentoring kids, as well as giving back to the community, which makes him a perfect example of what we here at Newtown Square and Marple Friends & Neighbors look for in our Student of the Month. Thanks for sharing your accomplishments and dreams with us, Caleb!
