“It was wonderful to see both Paige Gladstone and Jacob Kahrs honored at Huntington Town Hall as Whitman's Scholar Athletes of the Year,” said Schools Superintendent Dr. Bennardo. “These fine individuals embody the Renaissance spirit that fuels our community and generates hope for future generations.”
Paige Gladstone will be graduating in a couple weeks and plans on attending SUNY New Paltz where she will be enrolled in their 5 year Accounting Program. Ranked 90th out of her 426 senior classmates, Paige has a GPA of 93.4 and has taken many AP classes including AP Environmental Science and AP Calculus.
Paige is an outstanding athlete, playing lacrosse, field hockey and fencing all four years at Whitman. Paige was pulled up to the high school level in both lacrosse and field hockey in the 8th grade and in the 9th grade was a starter on both of those teams. She is also a valued member of outside leagues in both sports. In the summer Paige also serves as a captain on her swim team.
