Eva Carroll has officially been named Jonathan Law’s Class of 2022 salutatorian. 

Carroll will be attending the University of Miami in the fall and is planning to study chemical engineering. 

“I feel very proud of myself,” Carroll said. “I worked very hard throughout my four years at Jonathan Law, and I feel that I deserve this accomplishment.

Carroll challenged herself with eight advanced placement classes over the years, setting herself up for success and preparing her for her future in college. She has taken AP Government and Politics, AP Language and Composition, AP Chemistry, AP Macroeconomics, AP Human Geography, AP CSP, AP Psychology, and AP Calculus AB. 

Carroll’s academic drive is not only reflected in this outstanding achievement, but it is recognized by all those around her. 

“Eva is a hardworking young lady who possesses an inner drive to accumulate as much knowledge as possible,” Jonathan Law High School Principal Mr. Darcy said. “Her drive and passion for science in particular has focused her down a possible career path as well.”

Carroll’s friends are extremely supportive of her and remark that they can easily see how she has earned the prestigious title of salutatorian. 

“Eva is very smart, and she is really good at paying attention to detail,” senior Eliana Markowitz said. “One message that I have for Eva is to keep working hard, because I know that she will do great things!”  

Carroll is very thankful for the Jonathan Law community, and attributes her success to her peers and her teachers. 

“I’d like to thank Ms. Turcotte for this achievement; she always made me feel like I was capable of doing great things,” Carroll said. “If it wasn’t for her, I don’t know if I would  have pushed myself as hard as I did.”

Throughout her high school career, Carroll not only maintained outstanding grades, but she was also involved in many extracurricular activities and held numerous leadership positions in the Law community. 

“Eva works hard in the classroom and has shown her ability to work and lead teams throughout her high school career,” Darcy said. “Two examples of this are her leadership role as co-president of the senior class and her leadership role with the National Honor Society.” 

In addition to her role in class office and in the National Honor Society, Carroll is also a member of the National Math Honor Society, National Art Honor Society, and she is on the senior prom committee.
