BOARDMAN

Luke C. Carabbia’s forays into the science field include having gotten top honors in a state high-school competition, as well as plans to study biochemistry in college, but sandwiched between his scientific accomplishments and goals was one unscientific achievement.

“I’ve always liked science. My freshman biology teacher, Mrs. [Heather] Moran, inspired me,” the Boardman High School graduate recalled.

On one end of Carabbia’s science continuum was having won a state competition last year as part of his school’s envirothon (ok) team. His next step is to attend Princeton University in New Jersey to continue on his path, Carabbia said proudly.

The single milestone separating his past and future was having received his diploma during Sunday’s 97th annual Boardman High commencement at the school.

Carabbia was one of 335 Class of 2015 graduates to have taken home a diploma after the ceremony.
