Congratulations to STEM High School graduate and Firestone CLC Volleyball Player Elijah! He has been named the Division II Boys Volleyball Player of the Year in Ohio and earned First Team All-Ohio honors after being recognized as the Division II Region Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. Earlier this month, he was also recognized as the Akron Beacon Journal's Akron Area Athlete of the Week. Off the court, Elijah graduated from STEM High School as a valedictorian with a 4.130 GPA. We are proud to celebrate this incredible student-athlete and all he has accomplished!

This school year flew by faster than our Falcon sprinters!! A reminder that student athletes are students first. To participate in sports, athletes need to pass 5 one credit courses and have a GPA of 1.5 the previous grading quarter. So this 4th grading period affects playing a fall sport!!
