Student Spotlight: Derek Cao, Class of 2025
Derek Cao, who joined us at John Bapst as a 9th grader, has shown a deep interest in humanities, winning awards at state and national level competitions. Unlike many international students, Derek has focused his studies on history, taking AP US History (10th grade), AP European History, AP US Government, and AP Comparative Government, along with advanced math. His hard work and persistence are reflected in his straight-A average across eight AP courses.
Derek also actively participated in extracurriculars, founding the Asian Storytelling club and joining the band, football, and badminton teams. He is grateful for his acceptance to Emory University this year, where he will continue to study History. Congratulations, Derek!
