Student of the Month: Gwen Rogozinski

During a time when student participation in extracurricular activities is waning, one young student may be single-handedly reversing the trend.

Gwen Rogozinski, who just finished her eighth-grade year, was in the National Junior Honor Society. She also participates in basketball, volleyball, softball and track.

Her mantra in life is “hard work will pay off.” That appears to be true as she was the team captain for both her volleyball and basketball teams. Gwen also received the Most Valuable Player Award in basketball.

Gwen credits her parents, Caz and Nicole, for encouraging her hard work and always being there to support her in everything she does. She also has three younger brothers in her family.

Stockbridge has always been Gwen’s home, and she appreciates its small-town atmosphere. Her goals are to go to college to study business or lower elementary teaching. She also hopes to have the career she wants and to live the best life she possibly can.

Gwen plans to spend the rest of the summer doing what she loves – playing travel basketball and spending time with her friends.
