MARCELLUS — Two Marcellus Central School District students were recently included in Syracuse.com’s 21 Best & Brightest Awards ceremony.
Mason Grieb and Aubrey Fraher were among the seniors selected from 33 high schools throughout the area based on their academics, community service, recommendations and their personal stories.
Fraher is a member of the National Honor Society and Rho Kappa Social Studies Honor Society, and earned the National Rural and Small Town Recognition Program award from the College Board. She was a captain for JV basketball, and received several league and regional accolades when she led the softball team to its first sectional championship last spring.
Fraher also volunteers and helps organizations like On My Team 16, a group that supports pediatric cancer patients.
“I very honored and humbled to be chosen for this award, especially after attending the ceremony and hearing all of the amazing stories of other students in our area,” Fraher said.
Grieb participated in cross country and track, as well as French Honor Society, math honor society, the Rho Kappa Social Studies Honor Society and the Science Olympiad. He also volunteered at Crouse Hospital.
“It’s awesome to be a part of the first group to ever win this award,” Grieb said. “I hope it goes on for many more years.”
