Braden Faiella - Scholarship Recipient

His Story

Braden is from Saugus, attends Saugus High School, and he has a 4.09 GPA.

When Braden was eight, he lost his father, his best friend, to cancer. He remembers his father telling him he loved him very much, wanted him to keep being the man he raised him to be, and to continue playing football. Braden always strives to be the best version of himself, to make his father proud and to honor his wishes.

Braden continued to play football, and was a four-year varsity football player and varsity basketball player. He was also a two-year captain of his football team, and a League and District All Star. Additionally, Braden coached youth football camp and basketball in his community.

Braden’s teacher said “he’s a talented young man and one of the finest I’ve taught; he is an excellent representation of exemplifying the characteristics we value in education. He is kind, polite, respectful, highly motivated, dedicated, a positive teammate and helpful to his classmates.”

Braden plans to attend Saint Anselm’s College as an Accounting major.
