Why These Best Friends Are Boston Star Students

BOSTON, MA — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.

This submission comes from Christy Bortolotto who nominated Claire and Caroline of Boston.

Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?

I wanted to nominate these two together — they are great friends. They both are soccer captains, basketball captains, and play softball. They are on the National Honor Society and each has a part-time job. They have spent endless hours volunteering in their neighborhoods — such as MR8, Holy Name Youth Service Project service trips to Texas, walking in the Boston Common feeding and engaging unhoused people. They are smart and kind and have persevered through high school when their school was closed for thirteen months.

They are both future nurses and have been accepted into multiple colleges already!

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?

They are kind!

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Claire and Caroline!
