Ben Wetherbee Grade 11

Ben is a passionate young man, gifted in numerous ways. His most recent project, a documentary on Sir Edward Norton, self-professed Emperor of the United States is infused with Ben's creativity and unique perspective. Ben's blogs and other writings are usually well presented and demonstrate atypical insight for a high school junior. I look forward to seeing the wonderful accomplishments Ben will undoubtedly persue in his life.
