Austin Brown ’15 – Westchester
Senior Austin Brown has embraced life at Nazareth Academy. The Honors and AP student, four-year Cross Country runner, Band Section Leader and Service Team Co-President has certainly made the most of his four years at Naz.
He has been a member of almost a dozen school activities and sports, including current positions as National Honor Society President, Roadrunner Club Board of Governors and Vice President of the Health Careers Club. And, he has no regrets about investing so much time and energy in high school.
“I have grown so much in four years,” he says. “My involvement before, during and after school over the last four years has allowed me to develop my own definition of leadership and identify my own strengths and weaknesses.”
