Garden City High School junior Emma Nagler is on a bright path as she prepares for senior year and works toward her aspirations for college and beyond. Nagler earned impeccable scores of 1600 and 1520 on the SAT and PSAT, respectively, putting her several steps ahead in her high school journey.
While students typically take the SAT during the spring of their junior year and in the fall as seniors, Nagler did so early and accomplished perfection. She took the SAT in December of 2020 after mastering the PSAT just a few months prior in October.
Nagler takes numerous Advanced Placement courses, serves as treasurer for the Italian Club, plays the clarinet and is a member of the Tri-M Music Honor Society. She is also a talented and skilled ballerina and dedicates 25 hours a week to practicing with a pre-professional student-based company. She performs in the group’s biannual productions and most recently took the stage in the Nutcracker. She plans to continue her dance involvement in college.
Robust academic interests paired with her dance background have inspired Nagler’s goal of becoming an orthopedic surgeon and specifically working with dancers.
“I find the medical field in general fascinating, I love science and I like the idea of helping people,” she said.
“Emma’s SAT and PSAT accomplishment is rare and due to hard work,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha added. “I am so proud of her and look forward to hearing about her future accomplishments.”
