<p>"Senior Bryan Dongre brought much pride to Brookfield Central this year when he became one of two Wisconsin delegates for the 48th Annual United States Senate Youth Program (USSYP), as well as one of the nation’s 141 U.S. Presidential Scholars. </p>

<p>In March, Dongre represented Wisconsin during USSYP’s Washington Week in Washington, D.C. He met with distinguished personnel from different branches of government, foreign diplomats, and accomplished military mentors. Among those he heard speak were Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Sonia Sotomayor; Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg; Ambassador Meera Shankar, Embassy of India; and several senators, all who provided valuable insight into their jobs and areas of expertise. </p>

<p>Dongre also toured the Pentagon, Supreme Court, U.S. Senate, White House, Department of State and several memorials. </p>

<p>Dongre will return to Washington in June to be honored as a U.S. Presidential Scholar. He has selected Mrs. Louise Thompson, his AP Chemistry teacher and SMART (Students Modeling a Research Topic) team advisor, to receive the Presidential Scholar Teacher Recognition Award. . . . </p>

<p>Dongre credits his experience in the district with helping him achieve the UYSSP and U.S. Presidential Scholar honors. “I think the combination of academic and leadership opportunities at Brookfield Central, as well as in my community, enabled me to be well-rounded and academically successful. Having access to a broad course selection and demonstrating academic competence in college-level courses through Youth Options were definite catalysts for both of these major achievements.”</p>

<p>As he prepares to graduate, Dongre wishes to thank all the good teachers who he has had during the course of his education. “Through their dedication, I have attained a mindset necessary for success in the future,” he said. Dongre will be attending Princeton University in the fall to pursue an education in engineering and international affairs. . . ." (continued)</p>
