Mrs. Gori and high school senior Matthew Cushing

Congratulations to Matthew Cushing, our Cairo-Durham student of the month for February 2022! Matthew is pictured here with Mrs. Virginia Gori, his STAR teacher.  

As a senior this year, Matthew is well-known among his peers and his teachers as a responsible and respectful person/student.  Matthew’s friends see him as a loyal and kind person and enjoy his generous personality.  He genuinely cares about others and this is evident both in and out of the classroom; a personality trait that is admirable and inspiring! Matthew says that he has struggled at times in school, but always strives to try his hardest to be a good student.  

A lot of Matthew’s time over the past two years has been spent in our Questar Program where he studies Automotive. His hope is to become a mechanic and move right into the workforce after graduation. 

Being outside and riding three wheelers are two things that Matthew thoroughly enjoys.  We all appreciate his dedication to his school work and the wonderful example that he is to all here at Cairo-Durham.  

We wish him the very best in pursuing his dreams after graduation in June! Congratulations Matthew!
