RFenton Putting F...Personal Statement
In August 2019, my family moved to South Florida (my dad’s company asked him to spend more time in South Florida) for the school year and I’ve decided to reclassify myself as a graduate of the Class of 2021. I made the decision to reclassify for four reasons: (i) most importantly we wanted to stay together as a family, (ii) I was accepted into one of the top private schools in the country – “The Pine Crest School” in Fort Lauderdale (they were recently ranked No.3 on The Washington Post's "America's Most Challenging High Schools" list) and their age cut off is April 1st (my birthday is in mid-July) – if I would have entered as a senior I would have been the youngest senior in the grade, (iii) repeating my junior year allowed me to take more advanced classes (I’m taking four Advanced Placement courses which were not offered at my previous high school) and (iv) I will be able to work on continuing to improve my golf game all year around over the next two years (we will be in South Florida for the school year and back on Long Island, NY during the summer months).
I made the Varsity Golf team at Pine Crest School (District Champions'15, '16, '17, '18, Regional Champions'16, Florida State Finals'14, '15, '16) and was both the #1 and #2 player throughout the season. As a team we made it through to the Regionals but fell short of reaching the States. Individually I received an honorable mention by the Sun Sentinel to their "Varsity Boy's Golf All County Team" and was awarded the "Panther Award" for Varsity Golf (Pine Crest's all around player award). I’m very excited to be part of a highly competitive high school golf program and so far his has been a great experience.

Academic Accomplishments
Are you in honor classes?
Yes. Prior to transferring to the Pine Crest School, I attended Chaminade High School where all classes are Honors classes (they do not offer AP classes). Chaminade’s course of studies provides for a liberal arts education that meets the most stringent of college require- ments. Students take all major course offerings for four years and must successfully complete a three-hour comprehen- sive examination in each subject at the end of each academic year. Chaminade does not rank its students.Are you in AP/IB classes?
Yes. The Pine Crest School was ranked No. 2 on The Washington Post's "America's Most Challenging High Schools" list. At the Pine Crest School, in my 2019-2020 academic year I took four AP classes: Computer Science Principles AP, Psychology AP, Environmental Science AP and English Language AP. In the 2020-2021 academic year I am taking four AP classes: Economics AP, Physics AP, English Literature & Comp. AP and Computer Science A AP, as well as Honors Calculus.Registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center?
