Your Delaware Student of the Week is a senior from Ursuline Academy

Time for the next Delaware Student of the Week under the spotlight.

In case you missed it, Delaware Online/The News Journal launched an initiative to recognize achievements of high school students across the state through reader voting, every other week. This honor looks to highlight academic achievement, extracurricular activities, volunteerism, perseverance and more qualities that make up the lives of so many young scholars.

School principals and other educators sent in nominations, while readers handled the rest.

So in this next round, who is our Delaware Student of the Week?

That would be Norah McGlinchey, of Ursuline Academy . She clinched over 60% of the votes.

This senior got to represent the state of Delaware as a page at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. McGlinchey was the youngest member of the Delaware delegation in Chicago, according to her nominator. The Catholic school student helped manage the state breakfast, organize delegates and run errands on the floor of the convention center. She particularly loved getting to meet Gwen Walz and Gov. Josh Shapiro.

Helen Socorso, of Archmere Academy; Kaylee McDowell, of Lake Forest High; and Alex Aguilar, of Wilmington Christian School, also were recognized this week as nominees.

Stay tuned for the next poll. Educators should continue making submissions through next week.
