Krish Patel, Student Board Liaison
Joined Board September 2024
My name is Krish Patel and I am currently a senior at Liverpool High School. During my time at Liverpool I have taken part in many different clubs such as Science Olympiad, National Honor Society, and Science National Honor Society. As I countinue my education I plan on majoring in Biology or Biochemistry with hopes to enter medical school. Outside of school I take part in club soccer and help the community by volunteering in an assisted living day-center.
