Nick Fugarino
Sports: Football, baseball and basketball

College: College of DuPage. As of right now, I am not exactly sure which direction I want to go in when it comes to a career. I am back and forth with what I want to do, so I think it is wise and reasonable to receive my general education courses at a much more affordable cost, but at the same time receive this education from a quality college.

Academic honors: National Honor Society; West Suburban Academic All-Conference; IHSA Academic All-State nominee; 2nd place in interview skills and 4th place in fundamental accounting at the Business Professionals of America regional competition

Athletic honors: All-Conference, two-year captain in football; three-year baseball captain
