The May Casey’s Student of the Month is Dominic Cirillo, a Junior at Marple Newtown High School (MNHS). In recognition of his exceptional achievements, Dominic has been awarded a Certificate of Achievement, along with a Gift Card from Casey’s Public House, the generous sponsor of this prestigious honor.
Dominic is an active participant in a wide range of clubs and organizations at MNHS, including Mock Trial, Debate, Model UN, Tiger Pride, Feeding Fellow Americans, National Honor Society, Science National Honor Society, English National Honor Society, MiniThon, Best Buddies and Interact. His involvement in these activities highlights his dedication to both academic and extracurricular excellence.
As the Community Chair of Marple Civic Youth (MCY), a group committed to making a positive impact and proving that teens have the power to make a difference, Dominic has been an instrumental part of numerous successful community projects. These include the Children’s Memorial Rose Garden at Veterans Memorial Park, the Adult Legacy Tree Project, as well as organizing Earth Day reading events for younger children and volunteering at school fun fairs and bingos. Through his work with MCY, Dominic has demonstrated his belief that teenagers have the power to create meaningful change in their communities.
In addition to his leadership roles, Dominic is a dedicated athlete. He plays soccer for MNHS, a team that advanced to the district finals this year, and is also a member of the track team. Looking ahead, Dominic aspires to attend law school and pursue a career as a lawyer. He is currently considering applications to prestigious universities, including Villanova, St. Joe’s and Swarthmore.
Dominic’s dedication to his school, community and personal growth is both inspiring and commendable. We here at Friends & Neighbors can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!
