Meet Nydira
Class of 2017, Future Doctor
Since joining St. James School in 2013, Nydira has excelled in the classroom—she earned High Honors numerous times, won the Presidential Award for Educational Excellence, snagged the Head of School’s Ambassador Award of Excellence, and became Student of the Week too many times to count. In 2016, she received the Ellis Trust Grant and was a Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Young Scholars National Semi-Finalist. Nydira’s hard work over the years has paid off! She delivered the commencement address as the class of 2017 Valedictorian and will attend William Penn Charter School in the fall.

WE THANK YOU!
Your continued commitment to our work here in Allegheny West allows us to provide transformative experiences for students and families who would otherwise only have the neighborhood’s underperforming schools as their options. Your time, talents and treasure are giving our children a chance at something greater, opening doors to high school & beyond.
