Seniors in the Spotlight: First University Acceptances of the Year, Congratulations, Mariana and Ricardo


Each school year, our High School celebrates an exciting tradition: the Principal rings a bell in front of all students to announce each new university acceptance. Last week, we had the joy of ringing the bell for our first two students of the year, Mariana Papacostas and Ricardo Calzada, who have been accepted into the universities of their choice!

Where are they headed?

Mariana Papacostas has been accepted to Florida International University to study Business Administration.

Ricardo Calzada received his acceptance to the University of Glasgow for Software Engineering.

This tradition marks the beginning of a memorable journey for our students, and we’re so proud to celebrate Mariana and Ricardo’s hard work and dedication. Congratulations to both—you’re inspiring our entire JFK community!
