Noah Topmiller and Molly Friel were recently honored as the Oxford Rotary Students of the Month.

Molly is the daughter of Rebecca and Brian Friel. She is a member of the National Honor Society, National English Honor Society, and Student Council, and she also serves as the secretary for Student Government Class of 2024. She is also a student representative for the Oxford School Board.

“Serving on the School Board has taught me that communication is not a spectator sport. I enjoy having formal conversations with important people,” she said.

She is part of the varsity softball team where she plays third base. She is also part of the softball travel team. In her free time, she enjoys social media and reading.

She has completed an accounting internship for Nannas, Hanes and Schaibo Accounting Firm, and she is also employed as a waitress at Sawmill Grill. She plans to major in quantitative finance when she moves on to college.

She wanted to give a “shout out” to the Oxford teachers, especially the gifted program teachers. “The gifted teachers and all teachers should get recognition for all they do for all the students. I appreciate what they did for me,” she said.

Noah is the son of Noelle and John Topmiller. He is on the National Honor Society, The Tri-M Music Honors Society and serves as the president of the National English Honor Society.

He is treasurer of the Class of 2024, is a member of student council, a member of the Marching Band, and co-captain of the swim team. He also plays on the varsity baseball team. He is on the swim club and tennis club at the YMCA and is also a lifeguard and swim coach. He plans to major in neuroscience in college.

“The teachers and guidance counselors at Oxford prepared me well for my goals and aspirations,” he said.
