Churchville-Chili High School senior Louis Ferrari was inducted into the Churchville-Riga Chamber of Commerce Youth Hall of Fame during the 19th Annual Award Ceremony in May. The award is presented by the Chamber of Commerce to an eleventh or twelfth grade high school student who has demonstrated, through contributions to the community and outstanding achievements, their personal growth and development.
Characteristics of a Youth Hall of Fame Award Recipient include volunteering in the community, displaying community spirit, overcoming adversity, and demonstrating leadership.
Louis displayed tremendous resilience and perseverance following a life-threatening accident when he was a sophomore. When asked, he identifies his strengths as nice, athletic and determined. He also says his accident taught him not to take life for granted and not to wait to chase his dreams.
Louis volunteers for a local youth soccer team when he is not playing for the RNYFC team. He intends to play soccer at Roberts Wesleyan in the fall, where he plans on pursing business management as a college major.
