Keenan, ’16
Future Engineer
Meet Keenan
Class of 2016, Future Engineer
Keenan struggled academically at first, but in time he earned Student of the Week at St. James—then he earned it a few more times. He began to flourish and, after expressing an interest in engineering, spent a day shadowing an engineer. Inspired, Keenan started taking his grades very seriously. He finished 8th grade with a solid GPA and was accepted to West Catholic’s Engineering Technology Academy. Over halfway through his 9th grade year, Keenan is on the honor roll and a freshman student council representative. Saturday mornings find him at the Minds Matter college prep program, his mind set on becoming a civil or electrical engineer. With an eye on college, Keenan is already visiting different university engineering programs and researching scholarships.
