Senior Kailey Graziotto Wins Pathfinder For Literature
Senior Kailey Graziotto won the Literature Pathfinder Scholarship Award, sponsored by The Palm Beach Post. The prestigious award was presented during the 35th annual ceremony at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. The Pathfinder High School Scholarship Awards are presented annually to seniors who demonstrate outstanding achievement in 18 categories.
Graziotto founded a writing club at Benjamin and has written and produced her own plays. She has been called the “glue that holds the Benjamin Arts together.” Graziotto wrote in her Pathfinder application letter that her ultimate goal is to write work that serves as a catalyst for social change.
Graziotto told The Palm Beach Post that she thought “there is no chance” she would win the Pathfinder. “It’s so surreal, so, so surreal,” she said. “I can’t believe that I was chosen. I am so happy.” Graziotto, along with first place winners in each category, received a $4,000 scholarship. She will attend Emory University in the fall.
Senior Marine Wolff placed second for Foreign Language and will attend Georgetown University in the fall. She, along with second-place finalists, received a $3,000 scholarship. Head of Upper School Fletcher Carr said he was thrilled to hear about the results and so proud of all the Pathfinder nominees.
