Scholarly honors
Three cheers to St. Edmund Prep junior Monique Wade. The scholarly student is the recipient of the Jose Rodriguez Memorial Scholarship.
Jose Rodriguez was a member of the class of 2014 and died tragically in 2011. He was a popular member of the St. Edmund family, having attended “Little Edmunds” across the driveway before starting his high-school career. A likeable, hard-working, and talented student who was taken from us far too soon, Jose has remained an indelible piece of St. Edmund Prep. Each fall, the Athletic Department selects one junior to be the recipient of a scholarship given in his memory.
At the recent Fall Sports Awards Dinner, the 2016 Jose Rodriguez Memorial Scholarship was presented to Monique, a two-sport student-athlete. She embodies the passion and school spirit that was indicative of Jose.
Monique is captain of the school’s crew team and a vital member of the girls’ tennis team. Monique is a very involved student, participating in the drama society, the school band, and serving on various committees. She is also a full student in the International Baccalaureate Diploma, with an overall grade-point average of 93.7 — which means she is one smart junior.
Standing O wishes Monique success in her future.
St. Edmund Preparatory High School [2474 Ocean Ave. at Avenue T in Sheepshead Bay, (718) 743–6100].
