Lockport High School Graduate 1983


I loved my high school years! I excelled in academics, activities and personality. I was on 18 pages of our senior yearbook! (Volunteering for the yearbook staff helped.) Being such a well-rounded student gave me the opportunity to get several scholarship offers. I accepted a full academic scholarship to Howard University in Washington, DC. where I was allowed to study whatever degree I wanted. I chose Electrical Engineering because I was influenced by my Physics teacher, Mr. Nappo!
