This year’s Alumni University – Bound Scholarship Recipient is Rohan Dadak.  Rohan sees himself who tries to be the best individual that he can possibly be.  Rohan’s most significant role at school was tutoring younger students in core subjects such as physics, math, and chemistry.

One moment of his athletic career at PCSS saw his senior boys’ basketball team lose a hotly-contested playoff game to TLK.  Rohan was grateful for the way the PCSS crowd cheered the team on and many congratulated the team on a fine season.  Rohan will never forget the character of the PCSS fans.

Rohan is pursing a career in pharmaceuticals, research or medicine.  He hopes to be remembered as a role model for future generations of PCSS graduates.
