Edgewood Academy Student Honored in Statewide Magazine
MONTGOMERY,
Ala. – Harris Woodruff, a senior at
Edgewood Academy, has been honored as a Teen Spotlight in Potential Magazine for excelling in his talent and leadership.
Harris is a
member of several clubs and organizations at Edgewood Academy, including the
Math Team, Scholar’s Bowl, Beta Club, and Spanish Club . He is a 12U Travel
Baseball Coach, and serves as the manager for Edgewood’s football team. One
thing is clear: Being nice matters to Harris. He was voted "Most
Kind" at Edgewood, and helps to organize a canned food drive for a local
food bank each year. When asked to share something most people don’t know about
him, Harris revealed, “I’ve had glasses since I was three, and had to wear a
patch over one eye until the age of five to strengthen the other eye.”
“We admire
Harris’ determination. He has always set his mind on a goal and strived to
achieve it,” explains Melissa Woodruff.
