Student Spotlight: As a sophomore at Williams High School, Hillary Mendoza-Ramirez has already made a remarkable impact. A former student of Southern Alamance Middle School, she has shown exceptional drive and determination throughout her academic journey. Despite facing personal and academic obstacles, she persevered and left SAMS as an International Baccalaureate student at Williams High School.
Now a sophomore at Williams High School, Hillary's passion for empowering others has led her to establish the Women's STEM Club. Recognizing the importance of End-of-Grade (E.O.G.) scores and their impact on the transition to high school, Hillary has taken it upon herself to organize tutoring sessions for SAMS' eighth-grade students.
Through the Women's STEM Club, Hillary has assembled a team of dedicated Williams High School students to provide tutoring in Math and Science subjects. Her initiative aims to equip SAMS students with the necessary skills and confidence to excel in their E.O.G. assessments, ultimately setting them up for a successful freshman year.
Hillary's commitment to giving back to her community and supporting the next generation of learners is truly commendable. Her efforts not only foster academic growth but also inspire others to embrace a spirit of mentorship and service!
Senior Families and Friends are invited to a Baccalaureate Service Sunday June 2, 2024 at 5:00 PM at Front Street United Methodist Church, 136 S, Fisher Street, Burlington, NC 27215. Seniors: This is a cap and gown event.
