The Upper Keys Weekly is proud to partner with Coral Shores’ faculty and students in choosing “The Student of the Week.” Recipients are chosen on qualifications including academic standing, athletics, outstanding achievements, community involvement, individuality and moral fortitude. We thank our future leaders and CSHS for allowing us to share in a weekly dose of “Hurricane Pride,” and for giving us a glimpse into their world.
NAME: Dhyan Herzberg
GRADE: senior
What is something most people don’t know about you? I am bilingual. I speak both English and Spanish fluently. My family is originally from Cuba, and that is what my parents speak in the house.
Who is your all-time favorite teacher and why? Ms. Dobson, because she knows how to make a student want to come to school. She is always supportive and caring, and she makes her class fun and active every day. She truly cares about us.
What does “a good education” mean to you? A good education to me is when you can learn without even knowing it because you are having fun and you are enjoying it.
What is the dumbest rule at your school? The best? The dumbest rule at my school is that we cannot eat lunch standing up. The best rule is that they keep us safe and make us stay 6 feet apart, which is why we can’t stand up while we eat, but I still don’t like that rule.
What is something you know now that you did not know when you were a freshman? You can graduate without community service hours.
What organizations and activities are you involved with at Coral Shores and why are they important to you? I am involved with basketball as well as track and field. They are important to me because they allowed me to make new friendships with other students and teachers, and they gave me another reason to keep my grades up.
What are your plans after high school? After I graduate I plan to join the Air Force.
What do you hope to be remembered for at CSHS? I want to be remembered as a nice friend, a good student and the record holder for some events in track. I would like to hold the long jump, triple jump and high jump records. I am very close! What is one favorite way to spend your spare time? I enjoy spending my time playing video games with my friends or playing basketball.
