Each year, Neshaminy coaches, advisors, and directors recognize a select group of seniors whose dedication, leadership, and commitment have left a lasting impact on their teams and the school community. These students have consistently gone above and beyond, whether through their athletic achievements, their sportsmanship, or their support of teammates, embodying the true spirit of Neshaminy. We’re proud to celebrate these outstanding seniors.
Vince Contruso – Boys Cross Country
“One piece of advice I’d offer to students is to appreciate the moment. Your time in high school does go by super fast, so appreciate each day, the memories you make, and the people you’re with. Try not to lose sight of the present by regretting the past or worrying about the future.”
Connor Frederick – Football
“Something I will miss at Neshaminy football is my teammates and coaches. The bonds that were made between them made me the person I am today, and I will forever appreciate them for that.”
Jayden Keenoy – Golf
“The advice I would give to incoming students who want to play golf is to play and try out, no matter your skill level. There is always an opportunity, and the more you play, the better you get.”
Brian Birmingham – Boys Lacrosse
“Make the most of your time in high school. Get involved in activities, whether it’s sports, clubs, or volunteer opportunities. These experiences will help you build friendships and create lasting memories. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, try new things, and discover what you’re passionate about. Also, stay organized and manage your time well; it will make a big difference as you balance academics and social life. Most importantly, cherish your friendships and the moments you share, because they’ll be some of the best memories you’ll take with you.”
Alayna Roscoe – Field Hockey
“The team changed my life by finding my forever friends and growing me as a person as well as a player.”

“It made my experience so much fun, helped me build friendships, built my confidence, and my leadership abilities.”

“Swimming changed my life by giving me multiple injuries, but with those injuries I grew as a person and learned how to overcome battles I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to.”
Danny Nocito – Baseball
“My favorite thing about the baseball team is having a brotherhood and doing what I love with them.”
Alona Walker – Girls Lacrosse
“Being on the team has taught me the value of teamwork, patience, and perseverance. It gave me the opportunity to try something new, improve myself gradually, and I got to help teach girls just starting.”
Arista Fine – Softball
“Being on the softball team has allowed me to better my abilities that I will need my whole life, such as teamwork, accountability, and time management. I’ve also made so many unforgettable friends and memories that I will carry with me through my life.”

Natalie Woodman – Girls Track
“Being in a team changed my life a lot. I can’t imagine the past four years of my life without the people I met, and thanks to sports recruiting, I was able to get into a more competitive school. It’s not for everyone because it can be a big commitment, but it is worth it in so many ways.”
Isabella Paglaccetti – Choir
“The music department has given me my closest friends, my best memories, and skills that will follow me into college. I have learned to be a better leader, to be kinder, to cooperate in different-sized groups, and to find joy in the process, not just the result.”

“ If there’s something you’re passionate about, get more involved!”
