Josh Hatfield, a Holley School District senior, has been named to “Business First’s” 2013 All-Western New York Academic Team. He has qualified for this year’s list of the 100 most outstanding high school seniors in the eight-county region.
Winners were chosen for their records of academic excellence, school leadership and community involvement. The top 25 were named to the First Team, 25 runners-up to the Second Team, and another 50 to the Special Mention list.
Schools throughout the eight-county area were asked to nominate their smartest and most accomplished students for consideration by the eight-member committee, which included six admissions directors at area colleges and two “Business First” editors. A total of 121 schools responded with 437 nominees. (Each school was limited to four candidates.)
Josh has been accepted to Clarkson University and Wells College so far. He is the son of Mark and Michelle Hatfield. The complete list of 100 honorees – along with their photos and profiles – will be published in “Business First’s” 2013-2014 Guide to Western New York Schools, which will hit newsstands on June 14.
