A Step Above: Casey Zachary
Coronado High School
Class of 2011
In the grand scheme of things, there are those that do, and those that don’t. Coronado High School Student Body President Casey Zachary is in all respects a doer. Goal-oriented and highly motivated, she makes no excuses to be idle and doesn’t wait for luck to strike. Rather, she invokes the words of Gandhi, “Be the change you wish to see in the world,” as a call to action. Whether cheerfully rallying her peers, excelling in academics or volunteering in the community, she exemplifies leadership, compassion and a positive, can-do attitude that makes great things possible, and for that, Casey Zachary is – A Step Above.

Goals & Aspirations: “I plan to graduate with high honors and continue my education at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). My future goal is to obtain a degree where I can work to make a change in the world.”
Casey is Successful Because: “I have had a strong and moral work ethic in all that I do. I work hard to complete the goals I set and never give up. Even during the times where situations are not favorable I continue to work with a positive attitude towards a good outcome.”
Casey Looks Up To: “Two pillars of strength are my mother and my sister. My sister, Brittany, always stands by her convictions and works hard for everything she has. My mother encourages me to care about others and to give back to my community. She supported me and gave me the confidence to always do my best and believe in myself.”
