Easton Resident Honored as Class of 2014 Valedictorian at Southeastern Regional Voc Tech

Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School is proud to introduce the Easton community to Jonathan Berry, Class of 2014 Valedictorian, through a question and answer interview:

How did you choose your major? During Freshman Exploratory, Engineering seemed the most interesting, so I picked it and ended up in the Innovation Academy, but I ended up choosing Electronics (part of the Innovation Academy) instead.

Why did you choose Southeastern Regional? For the vocational choices, in a nutshell.

Who is your favorite teacher? All of my teachers were awesome. I don’t think I could pick a single teacher.

What was your favorite class? Principles of Engineering

What was your favorite experience at Southeastern Regional? There’s too much to choose from. I’ve had too many amazing experiences to pick just one.

What is your favorite pastime? Participating in Drama, mainly working behind the scenes with the technical crew.

What will you do this summer? I’m looking for a job right now, and I plan on working over the summer before going to college.

What are your future plans? I plan to go to Worcester Polytechnic Institute for Robotics Engineering, and after that to get a job in Robotic Design.

What was your senior project? I modified a mouse so it had an internal memory, and a slot on the side for a flash drive to store information.

What activities did you enjoy during your time at Southeastern Regional? Everything.

How did Southeastern help you in your career? It helped me choose my career and figure out what I want to do, which is extremely important in choosing my career. I’ve also learned a large amount of information which will be helpful because I’ve already been exposed to what I’ll study in college. That will help me out a lot in college.

Do you have advice for incoming freshmen? Try to get as much out of high school as you can.
