Katelyn O'Neil
A most sensible choice for the Senior of the Month
recognition, Katelyn O’Neil embodies the definition of a
balanced young woman: serious about academics, involved in
school activities, active in athletics, generous with
volunteerism, well-respected by her peers and staff, and
compassionate to others. Katelyn prides herself on her
dedication, perseverance, and ability to overcome adversity.
She consistently demonstrates her incredible leadership and
organization skills on a daily basis. Her teachers
appreciate the hard work she puts into every assignment and
class discussion; her coaches’ marvel at her passion and
ability to push herself and others to be the best they can
be; her advisors are impressed with her ability to handle
the numerous activities and expectations thrown her way.
Katelyn has tapped into her interest in mathematics and is
eager to continue her education in the area of engineering.
Her academic successes at UHS have prepared her for the
rigorous curriculum that lies ahead. She is ranked in the
top 10 of her class, takes AP and honors level courses, has
completed all lab-science and major mathematics courses
offered, is a member of National Honor Society, and was
named to high-honors every term. Katelyn’s involvement in
the Uxbridge community is exemplary. She was elected
president of the award winning Student Council and has taken
this position and its duties to a new level. The
expectations she has for herself and others along with her
creativity and dedication to detail has fostered an inviting
and thriving environment for STUCO and Uxbridge High School
in general. Katelyn O’Neil has only scratched the surface of
her potential. She carries herself in a manner rarely seen
in high school students and because of this Uxbridge has
been graced by her presence and her personality.
Maxwell Leary
Recognized for his sincerity and ability to finish any task
put to him, Maxwell “Max” Leary is without a doubt one of
the nicest individuals roaming the halls of Uxbridge High
School. Max is a responsible person whose amiable
personality makes encounters with him a pleasure. Teachers
describe Max as intelligent, enthusiastic, positive and
driven; family and friends value the humor and loyalty Max
possesses, in addition to being helpful and hard working.
Max has progressively challenged himself academically; he
has sustained a solid A- grade point average and has been
named to honor roll all four years. He has established a
creditable and solid academic base which will serve him well
in his pursuit of a degree in mechanical engineering.
Outside of the classroom Max displays quality leadership
skills as captain of the indoor and outdoor track teams, in
his participation in Student Council, and as an active
member of the newly found Go Green Club, where he
implemented a school-wide recycling program. The maturity
Max displays on a daily basis is recognized and valued by
others around him, yet it is his good sense of humor that
warms any room instantly and is appreciated by all. Max is a
well-respected student-athlete at Uxbridge who manages his
personal challenges with the everyday and common challenges
of being a teenager. Those who know Max are very fortunate
and for those who have yet to meet and get to know Max, be
ready to be introduced to a sincere, polite and all around
great individual. Thanks for all you bring to Uxbridge, Max!
