No. 10 - Katerina Rodriguez Katerina Rodriguez has gained a lot of knowledge from her time at Cranston East, but it’s the friendships she has built that matter the most. “My friends are what I’ll remember the most from my high school years,” Rodriguez said. “I have gained many friendships that I believe will be long-lasting.” Rodriguez, who finished No. 10 in her class, was a member of the ice hockey and tennis teams, as well as taking on the mantle of National Honor Society vice president. She received the Sportsmanship Award in tennis, as well. Now that she’s graduated, she will take her talents to Quinnipiac University to major in occupational therapy with a minor in Spanish. She credited her family, most notable her parents and brother, with pushing her to succeed on the court, ice and in the classroom. “My brother has been the one that has contributed most to my success and enjoyment of high school. He has been very supportive of me in my athletics and academics over the years,” Rodriguez said. “My parents have also supported me a lot in high school and guided me to my success. [They] have both been the ones to motivate me to excel in high school and will continue to do so throughout my college years.”
