Valedictorian David Ferland
Top of the Williamson Central School Class of 2010 is David Ferland with 97.39 GPA. A quiet, thoughtful, hard working student, he is the son of proud parents Al and Cindy Ferland. David has three siblings: two sisters Christy (16), and Hannah (11); and one brother, Thomas (13). David is a well rounded student; he excels academically and athletically, but he is also a very talented musician who played lead roles in the last two high school musicals and has taken private Suzuki Piano lessons for the last 13 years.
His favorite subjects at WCS have been advanced placement courses in Calculus and Chemistry. In addition to completing all the required coursework, David has taken two other college courses: Biology and European History. He will be attending Michigan State University (his dad’s alma mater) in the fall starting down the long road working towards a major in Pre-med.
With all that is going on academically, you’d think there wasn’t time for anything else, but no…David participated in soccer (4 years, the last 2 on Varsity, serving as team Captain during his senior year). In the spring, Ferland participated in outdoor track for the last two years; he’s a sprinter and discus thrower. As a freshman and sophomore, David participated in another sport – golf. What has David been involved in during the winter months? He participated in high school musicals for four years with lead roles during his junior year (Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady) and senior year (Bob Wallace in White Christmas). Also committed to the WCS community, David has served as a LINK crew member during his junior and senior years.
Prior to graduation on Saturday, David has already received several athletic as well as academic awards including Outstanding Athlete for Varsity Soccer, five Old English W awards, ELENBE Outstanding Featured Actor and Stars of Tomorrow outstanding Lead Actor. In addition, he has received the Charles Dittmar Scholarship, the Richard Milks Scholarship and the Wright Scholarship for Athletic and Academic Excellence.
