ROCHESTER - An accomplished and admired student at Spaulding High School who is among the top 10 in her 2025 graduating class has been accepted to Harvard.

Yasmin Nguyen, a senior, plans to study prelaw and pursue her goal of making a meaningful impact in the world.

The leadership of Nguyen has left a lasting impact on the school community, according to school officials.

As secretary of the National Honor Society and Class Council, Yasmin has played a key role in organizing events and fostering collaboration among her peers. She also founded a new club called LIFT (Library Initiative For Teens) to make the Media Center an engaging space for students.

Her passion for advocacy shines through as Co-Vice Chair of the Environmental Club, where she successfully planned the annual 'Thrift Swap and Earth Week' to raise awareness and encourage environmental sustainability.

Yasmin's aptitude for academics is equally impressive; as president of Mu Alpha Theta, she not only excels in mathematics but also organizes tutoring programs to help fellow students succeed.
