Aidan O'Sullivan, South Kingstown High School

A member of the class of 2024, Aiden is an outstanding young man, who is heavily involved both in his school and community. Aidan exemplifies true leadership in every aspect. Aside from maintaining an excellent academic record, Aidan is a member of the Young Adults Committee in Gov. McKee's office and was a member of the 300th Anniversary Committee in South Kingstown. He is the president of the SKHS Student Civics Club and has had editorials published in both local newspapers and the Providence Journal alike.
