UHS Senior of the Month

Cassey Harrington


Cassey Harrington broke out of her shell this year. She has always been recognized as an involved, hard working and dedicated member of the Class of 2010. But using her talent for leadership, Cassey has plunged into a myriad of surprising new roles since her junior year. Last year, she was deeply involved behind the scenes in the school’s successful theatre program as the stage manager. This year she continues to be part of the Drama Club but will be seen in front of the curtain as the lovable “Frenchy” in this years’ production of Grease. She is president of the UHS Band and Vice President of the UHS Chorus performing arts groups. Cassey is also very active in Student Council, National Honor Society and Students Against Destructive Decisions. She is a leader to her peers, less because of conspicuous involvement and conduct than her conscientious effort and ethical decisions. Cassey’s ability to set and accomplish high yet realistic goals is a strength she shares willingly with everyone at Uxbridge. Cassey is a strong student holding a solid A- average in her honors level classes. She is diligent in completing her assignments and is an active participant. An honor roll student since her arrival at UHS, Cassey is ranked in the top 25 of her class. Cassey’s passion is with music. She is a member of the UHS Concert, Jazz and Rock/Blues bands and the UHS Concert Choir. Cassey will continue to develop her musical aptitude in college as she seeks to major in either music therapy or music education. Cassey Harrington, with her affable, independent, sensible personality is a true gem at Uxbridge High School. Her warm smile, willingness to help and dedication enrich the culture at UHS.


Jeffrey Copland


Jeffrey Copland is one of Uxbridge High School’s most respected citizens. He leads by example in the classroom, the hallways, and the sport teams. His quiet demeanor may allow him to “fly under the radar” at times but don’t be fooled by his gentle and humble personality. Jeff is a diligent worker in all areas. He is ranked 3rd in his class, boasting an A+ average in his Advance Placement and Honors level courses. His low-key but important contributions to class discussions and assignments do not go unnoticed by the UHS staff. Jeff’s academic discipline and excellent effort are a true pleasure for teachers and classmates alike. In sports, Jeff’s passion for running has earned him respect as a leader both on and off the track. His talent supports his team by earning points at the most critical of times during meets and has helped steer the cross-country and track teams to notable achievements. It is obvious that Jeff’s peers appreciate his ability to lead and compete, having elected him captain for the UHS cross-country, indoor, and outdoor track teams for the last two years. Jeff is the Class of 2010 Secretary and a student mentor. He has volunteered his time at the Uxbridge Town Loop Challenge, Math Day, and the UHS Holiday Party. He was asked by administration to represent the junior class at last years’ graduation ceremony as the Class Marshall. Jeff’s level-headed and mature decisions will lead him to a successful and enriching path and his unassuming, engaging personality will ensure him friends and admirers along the way. Uxbridge is fortunate to know and benefit from a wonderful person like Jeff Copland.
