Connor Bezio is among 34,000 students to receive the designation of Commended Student in the scholarship program. Son of William and Renee’ Bezio and top of the senior class, Connor has been a proud member of the band for seven years. He currently serves as president of the Science National Honor Society, vice president of the National Honor Society, and treasurer of the WHS Class of 2020. He is an avid member of Stop the Stigma and the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council. Both entranced by the wonder and whimsy of reading and writing, as well as perplexed by the intricate beauties of math and science, Connor hopes to attend Columbia University next fall, majoring in Physics or English.
