ND Senior in the Spotlight

 

Ashley Calarco ‘09

 

Ashley Calarco ’09, daughter of Joseph and Michelle Calarco, is a very well-rounded individual and exceptional student-athlete at ND!

 

Assuming the role of a leader is nothing new for Ashley. The Vice President of the ND Chapter of the National Honor Society and a member in good standing of NHS since her Junior year, Ashley has also served as her Class of 2009 Vice-President for the past two years and Captain of our Varsity Girls Fighting Irish Cross Country team since her Sophomore year. She has worked as a volunteer at All Babies Cherished for the past four years and was recently commissioned as a Eucharistic Minister at ND during our opening day mass on September 5, 2008.

 

Ashley has earned high honor role status each marking period during her ND career, as well as perfect attendance recognition during her 9th and 10th grade years! She has received numerous academic awards during her four years at ND including overall highest average recognition for Mathematics, AP English , Theology and Drawing and Painting, as well as recognition by the American Chemical Society for achievement in the field of Chemistry.

 

An outstanding Cross Country runner, Ashley entered our recently-concluded season as the three time Section V Class D Defending Girls Cross Country Champion, each time qualifying to represent Section V in the NYSPHSAA state meet. She has received Genesee Region League All Star status and earned Track/Cross Country NYS Scholar-Athlete recognition during all four years at ND! Ashley’s bid for a 4th straight Class D championship and trip to the NYSPHSAA meet came to an end a week prior to this year’s meet when she was sidelined with a fractured foot. In true leadership form, she made the trip to Marcus Whitman Central and vocally supported her teammates while on crutches at the recent Sectional meet.

 

Ashley is interested in pursuing a degree in graphic design after her June 2009 graduation from ND and is currently pursuing early admission to Syracuse University as her number one college choice.

 

We are all proud to call Ashley one of our own and wish her the best of luck during the remainder of her senior year and next year at college!
