Valedictorian Graduates with 4.0…but that’s not all!

Hey everyone,

I came across this article today…all about a Valedictorian with a perfect grade point average…who also has autism. Montel Medley graduated Surattsville high school and plans to attend Towson in the fall. In his graduation speech he stated that, “Having a disability doesn’t mean you have a disadvantage, sometimes it can be an advantage.” What an amazing story! The article also talks about how Montel matured throughout high school especially when it came to acceptance of himself. Everyone take a look below…what an amazing story!
