Herricks High School senior Lucas Rodriguez was recently named Student of the Quarter by the Nassau BOCES Joseph M. Barry Career & Technical Education Center. The Herricks senior was celebrated at a luncheon along with his proud parents, Celso and Juderca and Herricks High School guidance counselor Caryn Krucher.

Lucas is in his second year of studying exercise medicine and personal training. He is preparing for a career in sports management, a field that was identified by the New York State Department of Labor as one of the top 24 emerging occupations. “Lucas maintains perfect attendance and grades, while serving as a role model for all in his program, and in his class,” said Krucher. The high school counselor went on to share, “This is only the beginning for Lucas. He is bound for success, and we are so incredibly proud of him!”
