Johnston High Top 10 Students: #9 Nicholas Cronan

Ranked ninth in the Johnston High School Class of 2021, Nicholas Cronan, of Paradise Lane, plans to attend Johnson & Wales University in the fall.

He plans to major in Political Science.

During his years at the school, Cronan was a member of many organizations and participated in a long list of school activities.

He served as Class President during his time on Student Council. He was a member of the Class of 2021 Float Committee, Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), Above the Influence, Panther Cubs, National Junior Honor Society and the National Honor Society.

Cronan was the recipient of the Senior Class President Award and the Excellence in Architecture Award.

“Of all the memories made from my high school years, I will most remember the many friends I have made throughout the span of the past four years,” Cronan said. “Being Class President since I was a freshman has allowed me to engage in countless activities for the school, especially float and homecoming, and the social aspect of JHS has been the most rewarding for me.”

A core group of supporters contributed to Cronan’s success and enjoyment of high school.

“It is undeniable that the success and enjoyment of my high school years wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my friends, and love of my family,” he said. “Having the privilege of spending most of my days with my friends the past four years has truly engaged me in a more enriching social life, and having my family by my side has helped me succeed in all my endeavors.”

Cronan credited several primary motivations for helping to contribute to his success.

“What mainly motivated me to excel was the endless support of those around me, as it would be impossible in a year as challenging as this to accomplish our goals without the encouragement of the people most important to us,” he said. “Regardless of how difficult it has been for many seniors to see success beyond high school, it has and always will be essential for us to enjoy our time with our loved ones in order to persevere.”
