Meet the 2022 Valedictorian and Salutatorian

 

 

On the morning of May 6, Bishop Guertin honored members of the senior class who have achieved stellar academic benchmarks at the annual Scholar’s Breakfast. During that event, it was announced that seniors Sam Dunlay and Tamara Golosarsky were the class valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively.

 

Both outstanding students, Dunlay and Golosarsky have been at the top of the Class of 2022 since arriving at Bishop Guertin four years ago. Now, as they prepare for the next journey in their lives, the took some time to reflect on what BG meant to them.
