We’re proud to announce that senior Brooke Patterson has been awarded the Frank G. Paul Medal of Excellence in Math and Science—a prestigious honor reserved for the region’s top-performing high school students in these critical fields.
Brooke was recognized as the top-scoring female student in math and science from area schools, joining an elite group of honorees deemed “the best the region has to offer.” The award includes both a medal and a cash prize, presented during a ceremony at SUNY Broome. SUNY Broome President Dr. Tony Hawkins praised the recipients, urging them to “become ambassadors and champions for science, technology, and critical thinking.”
The award is made possible through the generous support of the Paul family. Frank G. Paul, its namesake, was a longtime IBM engineer, SUNY Broome trustee, and passionate advocate for education. His legacy lives on through this recognition of students who embody the values he held dear.
Well done, Brooke—your hard work and talent are an inspiration to us all!
