These Distinguished Scholars are being recognized not only for their academics but also for their excellence in one of the following categories: Beating the Odds, Career & Technical Education, Communications, Performing & Fine Arts, S.T.E.M., Service & Leadership, Spirit, or Student Athletics.

Sebastian is star student with a talent for robotics.

He has completed several high-level robotics and engineering projects and competed in science fairs. He always welcomes a challenge and is hungry to expand his skills, often times, teaching himself new methods and coding languages.
