Nebiyu Tadesse

Despite moving to the United States as a high school freshman and knowing no English, Nebiyu transitioned out of his ELA program after only one semester and was put into the regular educational track.
He graduated in the top 5% of his high school class four years later, after taking IB, AP, honors, and concurrent enrollment college classes.
Nebiyu was president of the robotics club, participated in dance and theater clubs, tutored 5th graders in math and science, and was involved in student government.
After realizing he had naturally become a role model for other Ethiopian students at his high school, he founded a leadership club for the Ethiopian community there.
