This has been an outstanding year for Miami Christian School as their students shine.
Sophomore Nina Beam has been accepted to the Cornell University School of Veterinary Medicine High School Summer Program.
Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine, consistently ranked as one of the top veterinary schools in the nation, offers Beam an amazing opportunity in her pursuit to be a veterinarian. During the program she will become familiar with the anatomy and physiology of cats, dogs, and other domestic animals and learn the basics of how these subjects apply to small animal veterinary practice. Through laboratory exercises she will gain hands-on experience and gain an understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of companion animals. The program includes lectures in the morning and labs in the afternoon with a focus on practicing skills and utilizing equipment.
In other student news, MCS seniors Allison Bean and Christine Rosillo are this year’s MCS Silver Knight nominees. Rosillo is nominated in the category of music and dance, while Bean is nominated in the category of Athletics. Rosillo has been a part of the Fine Arts Department for years and has participated in a number of the school’s bands. Bean has been a dominant force in MCS athletics, predominantly Volleyball, and has done close to 1,000 hours of service. Bean is the only student in the history of the school to receive the Presidential Service Award when she was in K-5 Kindergarten years ago.
Yet another senior, Josue Quiros received a certificate for his participation in the Congressional App Competition. Quiros created an app, including the coding and graphics, for a game for young children.
On the athletic front, the Miami Christian School Girls’ Basketball Team had a stellar season. The team finished with an undefeated season (15-0). The team won the District Championship of the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) District 15 2A.
