Justin Reimann cuts a balance that student athletes across the country routinely struggle with. He’s found a way to excel both in the classroom and on the field.

Ferro followed that path, serving his country with pride as a Marine from 2009-2014. The December Student of the Month was awarded a Post-9/11 G.I. Bill, enabling him to follow his dream of becoming an Occupational Therapist at Merced College.
