Every year, the Cairo-Durham High School teachers recognize and honor a student every month (SOM) during the school year and at the end of the year a Student of the Year (SOY). The student is nominated and then voted on by the teachers and staff in the high school. The student is awarded a certificate and a $10 gift card.
CD High School Student of the Month - September 2022
Cairo-Durham’s Student of the Month for September is Kingston Czajkowski. Kingston is a well liked and respected freshman student, who exemplifies the qualities each student should strive to achieve.
His peers describe him as “hardworking and honest.” A teacher that works with Kingston said that he, “exceeds expectations in every class he is a part of!! He demonstrates honorable qualities that embody a true role model for other ninth graders. Kingston devotes a significant amount of time to reading, writing, and learning. He is a diligent shining star and a wonderful member of our high school community.”
While maintaining his High Honor Roll status each quarter, Kingston also participates in many extracurricular activities. He is currently in the band and chorus at the high school, and participates in many sports teams such as Cross-Country, Indoor Track, and Tennis. In the Spring, Kingston enjoys playing keyboard in the pit for the musical.
Outside of school, he enjoys playing piano and percussion in the Empire State Youth Percussion Ensemble. Additionally, while he does enjoy playing classical music, in his free time Kingston loves listening to rock music.
In thinking about the future, Kingston states: “I plan to go to MIT and possibly double major in mathematics and music. I'm not sure what I want to do for a career yet — there are so many options.” Cairo-Durham is proud to honor Kingston as the student of the month, keep up the hard work!
Congratulations, Kingston!
