Foxborough Regional Charter school is pleased to announce the valedictorian and salutatorian of the graduating class of 2024. These two students have devoted countless long hours and a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication to their studies at FRCS to receive this recognition.
Yashaswi Panamakuri, Class of 2024 Valedictorian
Valedictorian Yashaswi Panamakuri has attended Foxborough Regional Charter School since sixth grade and held numerous leadership positions in many extracurriculars throughout her years. She served as the secretary of the National Honors Society and the National Art Honors Society; co-captain of the debate and mock trial teams; and has been a member of the National Green Schools Society for the past 3 years.
Outside of school, Yashaswi has been training in Carnatic vocal music and Kuchipudi dance for the past 12 years. She also has been part of a non-profit for the past 14 years where she is involved in service activities, participates in cultural events and mentors young children in music.
Reflecting on her involvement in her academics and extracurriculars, Yashaswi has grown to appreciate the value of dedication and self-discipline when it comes to achieving goals. Her consistent involvement with service also highlights her commitment to giving back to her community. Yashaswi will forever be grateful to her parents and family for all their love, support, and guidance throughout her life.
In the fall, Yashaswi will be attending the honors college at the University of Massachusetts Amherst to pursue computer science. In college, she also plans to continue practicing music and dance, while also being involved in community service.
