The November Casey’s Public House Student of the Month is Olga Dimou, who is a Senior at Marple Newtown High School (MNHS). She also received a Certificate of Achievement and a $25 gift card from Casey’s Public House, our Sponsor of this program.
Olga is a member of the National Honor Society, National English Honor Society, National Social Studies Honor Society, National Science Honor Society, World Language Honor Society, Renaissance Leaders Club and the French Club. She has received the Renaissance Black Card every term at MNHS, is a proud member of Girl Up Marple (a club for women’s empowerment, fundraising and gender equality) and is the Youth Secretary for Marple Civic Youth, all while taking AP/Honors courses in several subjects.
A violin player since the fourth grade, Olga is involved in the MNHS Orchestra and is also a member of the MNHS Varsity Swim Team. Olga has been a competitive swimmer since the age of five and also swims as part of the Episcopal Academy Aquatics Club. She is a Lifeguard and is CPR certified.
Olga also enjoys a wide range of activities outside of school including taking part in Greek Orthodox Youth of America (GOYA), and is a member of the St. Luke Greek Orthodox Church Girls Basketball team.
After moving to the U.S. from Greece when she was in the third grade, she learned the English language so quickly that she became an academically excellent student immediately. Olga currently works as a first-grade Greek School Teaching Assistant and has received her Certification of Attainment in the upper-intermediate level of proficiency of the Greek Language.
Olga plans to earn a Biology-related degree at a 4-year college, after which she hopes to attend a dental program to prepare for a career as a Pediatric Dentist or an Oral Surgeon. You’re an amazing student Olga, we know great things are ahead!
