Alexandrea Pouliot: Pilgrim High School senior Alexandrea Pouliot is one of a kind. First and foremost, Alex is a model student. She is always very diligent and focused on her studies. Throughout her high school career, she has always taken a very rigorous course load. In fact, she has stacked up her senior year with 5 college advance placement courses. At the end of this year she will have accumulated 11 AP courses and 11 honors level courses. Despite her extensive course work, Alex still finds time to play sports, participate in the school drama productions, serve as a mentor to freshmen, and a peer tutor. If that was not enough she assists at home extensively helping her mother tend to her 2 younger siblings. Alex is truly intrinsically motivated.
