We congratulate Senior Michael Amato of Rochester for being selected by the Old Rochester Regional High School faculty and staff. Michael is a serious language student. He is currently enrolled in AP Spanish, Latin 5 and French 2. In order to reach the top levels in Spanish and Latin, he had to complete a year of course work (in each language) on his own outside of school. He is also enrolled in AP English, AP European History and AP Statistics. Michael is the administrator of the student council here at ORR. He is involved in the drama club. He has served as an aide in multiple language teachers’ classes over the past four years. He also volunteers assisting English language learning high school students with their homework one night a week through the Massachusetts Migrant Education program in New Bedford.
