•Staff comment: "Peter is in my advanced placement calculus class and was in my advanced algebra and trigonometry class as a sophomore. Peter picks up concepts quickly and manages to find time to excel in the classroom and in the swimming pool. Although he is quiet, he is focused and willing to do whatever it takes to succeed."
