Benjamin Cooke, 9th Grade

Ridgefield High School is delighted to honor freshman Benjamin Cooke as our March student of the month.  Ben is the definition of responsible.  He is self-disciplined, accountable, and always does his best.  And when times get tough, Ben has learned to push through and never give up.  When Ben isn’t working hard to learn in the classroom, he can be found enjoying lunch with his friends (although he misses recess!), playing video games and watching anime.  In addition to these activities, at the time of writing, Ben has a 355 day streak on Duolingo!  Which makes sense, as his favorite class at RHS is Spanish.  After high school, Ben hopes to pursue a career in computer programming or video game development. You will probably also catch him adding to his ever-growing collection of rocks, hot wheels and rubber ducks. Congratulations, Ben. We are proud to call you a Spudder!
