West Haven Planning and Zoning Commissioner Steven R. Mullins visited West Haven High School last week to present the “Commissioner Mullins Youth Leadership Award” to two outstanding freshmen. Sarah Davey and Justin Wychowski are this year’s recipients. The award is given every year to two freshmen that demonstrate outstanding involvement in schools and civic activities.
Davey is a Class of 2025 Officer. She is involved in Students Against Destruction Decisions (SADD), she plays volleyball, softball, and hockey. She also plays the clarinet in the Blue Devil Marching Band.
Wychowski is a Class of 2025 Officer. He is involved in the Vex Robotics Team and the Blue Devils Marching Band. Outside of school, he holds a black belt in American mixed martial arts.
Each student was presented with a framed certificate, a booklet containing the US Constitution, Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation, and a $50 gift certificate to Barnes & Noble.
“Both of these students are the embodiment and example of the youth of the City of West Haven and all citizens should be proud of them.” said Mullins, a 1993 alumnus of the school.
Davey and Wychowski were recommended by WHHS Principal Dana Paredes and her staff. Mullins has been presenting award since 2016.
