What do you enjoy most about school?
“I am more disciplined, focused, and I know I can do hard things. I am out for football, wrestling, and track at Wilton. Wrestling has probably changed me the most. The mental mindset that you must have to be a wrestler helps you improve physically, mentally and socially as well.”
Name: Alex Kaufmann
School: Wilton Junior-Senior High School
Grade: Senior
Alex Kaufmann has grown tremendously as a student and as a leader during his years in high school, especially since returning to fully in-person learning following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Wilton Junior-Senior High School Principal Sue O’Donnell shared: “he went from a very low GPA his freshman year to over a 3.0 into his senior year. That takes a lot of effort for that kind of improvement. He has also become quite a leader in our building and on our athletic fields. He is a positive mentor to the younger student athletes and he can be counted upon by his teachers and coaches to get things done.”
