NEW LONDON — Superintendent Winfried Feneberg is pleased to announce Kearsarge Regional High School’s February student of the month.
Quinlan Ferren, a sophomore from Wilmot, was selected for the honor based on nominations from school staff. This honor recognizes the student’s positive conduct and character, both on and off campus, and acknowledges positive moral character and contributions to the school community.
“Quin is an incredibly respectful, hardworking student. He works well with others and values supporting students with needs,” Social Studies teacher Sandy Nelson said. “He assists a student with special needs in my class by re-teaching concepts, vocabulary, and ideas to support this student’s learning. Quin leads by example. His ability to connect with others and support their learning should be commended.”
Ferren credits teachers for encouraging him toward success. He especially enjoyed Introduction to Woodworking, and the guidance of Business Teacher Jesse Fenn during experiential learning.
“I really like being able to work with a hands-on project and have a say in what I am making. It’s a good way to show Mr. Fenn what we are learning instead of just making something that he gave to us to build,” he said.
Ferren, the son of Amy Gignac and Justin Ferren, is a talented keyboardist. He performs with his father (guitar) and younger sister Mara (vocals) as the Ferns Family Band. The band performs at local events and venues, and has been featured on “New Hampshire Chronicle.” Ferren is currently supporting his sister by playing keyboard while she competes in the Unsung Heroes Vocal Competition organized by The Music Room in West Yarmouth, Mass.
After graduation, Ferren would like to combine his Kearsarge education, community experience, and lifelong interest in trucks and equipment. His goal is to start a property maintenance, land management, or excavation business.
