Congratulations to Phoebe Hodgson of Falmouth High School, our October Student of the Month!
Phoebe is an outstanding student who has distinguished herself through academic excellence, athletic achievement, leadership, and a strong commitment to serving her community.
Academically, Phoebe has earned an impressive 3.92 unweighted GPA while pursuing a rigorous course load. Throughout high school, she has completed 10 honors-level core courses and has taken or is currently taking six Advanced Placement courses, including AP Human Geography, AP Biology, AP Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus, AP Psychology, and AP U.S. Government.
Phoebe is also an accomplished multi-sport athlete. She is a four-year member of the Varsity Tennis program, serving as Team Captain during both her junior and senior years. She has earned consecutive League All-Star honors, as well as the Sportsmanship Award and Coaches Award for her teamwork and performance. Phoebe has also been a four-year member of the Field Hockey program, playing at the varsity level since her sophomore year and receiving both the Coaches Award and 2x Player of the Game recognition
Her leadership extends well beyond athletics. Phoebe is the Co-Founder and Vice President of Petals for Purpose, a community initiative that repurposes flower arrangements and donates them to local senior and assisted-living facilities. She helps organize grassroots fundraising efforts and oversees aspects of the initiative's finances, logistics, and operations. She is also a member of Hope Squad, where she supports peer-to-peer suicide prevention efforts and helps foster a supportive school environment, and the Glam Girls Club, which advocates for gender equality in athletics.
Phoebe's commitment to service is equally impressive. She is a member of the National Honor Society, National Math Honor Society, and National Art Honor Society, contributing numerous hours of community service and peer tutoring. Her volunteer work includes the Falmouth Road Race, supporting children with autism through the local Recreation Center, assisting elementary school PTO activities, and teaching introductory Spanish to third- and fourth-grade students. She was also selected as a recipient of the Brandeis University National Book Award for her outstanding civic and academic engagement.
In addition to balancing academics, athletics, leadership, and volunteering, Phoebe has maintained an impressive work schedule. She has held positions at Chapoquoit Grill, Landfall Restaurant, and Candy Go Nuts, while also providing childcare for local families since 2018.
Phoebe's ability to excel academically while dedicating herself to athletics, leadership, employment, and meaningful service to others exemplifies the qualities we seek to recognize through our Student Recognition Program. Congratulations to Phoebe Hodgson, our October Student of the Month!
