We extend our Congratulations to each of the following students.

Jordan enjoyed his time on the varsity wrestling and football teams at Milford High School, where he earned many accomplishments both on and off the field. This fall, Jordan will enter his junior year at Delaware State University, pursuing a major in physical education. His passion for sports, fitness, and mentoring youth inspired his academic path, and he plans to minor in special education because of his dedication to supporting students with special needs.
