High School Student of the Year
INSPIRING A NEW FUTURE FOR STEM
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT of the Year Victoria Williams hopes her classmates are interested in STEM like her.
After graduation, the Baton Rouge Magnet High School Bulldog will attend Columbia University, majoring in chemical engineering. Victoria wants to give back to young minds in the science, technology, engineering and mathematical field. “I want to use my degree to improve science education for low-income students,” she said. Victoria credits Baton Rouge High for providing a quality education and giving her the tools to reach for her dreams. “The fact that I came to a school that gave me so many resources makes me so grateful, and I have to make sure other kids get it too,” she said.
On Feb. 24, Victoria was declared the 2021-2022 EBR Student of the Year, making her eligible to compete at the state level for Louisiana Student of the Year.
