Neil is planning to finish the IB Program at Washington-Lee, but has not yet decided on a college or major.

Thanks to the Board of Review members Brigadier General Ted Bowlds (USAF), Dr. Michael Cassidy, Ruth Netting (District Advancement Chairman), Max Padon (District Eagle Board), and Rita Rooney (Chairman).
