RMHS High Fives – Flynn & Geiger

Meghan Flynn, Class of 2018

Meghan is being recognized for her outstanding achievements in academics, athletics, and service. Meghan is in the 3rd decile of the Class of 2018 and is a member of the National Honor Society. She has been an Honor Roll student throughout her time here at RMHS and was nominated by her teachers and then recognized as a “Student of the Month” for the core value of Perseverance. This year, Meghan continues to challenge herself by taking rigorous courses highlighted by Advanced Placement Biology. Athletically, Meghan has been a member of the Girls Varsity Volleyball Team for the past 3 years and helped the Lady Rockets earn Middlesex League Champ honors in 2015. Playing as the “Libaro” or the defensive specialist, she competes year-round in volleyball, playing North Shore Club Volleyball for the AA Power Team in the offseason. One of her proudest accomplishments in volleyball, however, has been participating in the annual “Volley for a Cure” game. This event helps to raise money for the ESSCO Breast Cancer Research Fund and has raised over $13,000 to date. Meghan hopes to see everyone at this year’s “Volley for a Cure” event against Winchester High School this Tuesday, October 17th at 6:00 in the RMHS field house. Meghan also finds time to coach volleyball and mentor elementary and middle school aged children in the spring and the fall and participate as a coach at the annual summer Rocket Volleyball Camp, working with kids in grades 2 to 8. This past summer, Meghan was also an Upper Connector and helped at our Freshman Orientation. In addition, she participates in the EMARCC annual road race, where proceeds go to promote awareness and to fund programming for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Next year, Meghan will be attending college and will be pursuing a career in nursing. Congratulations, Meghan!
