Rosemont High Seniors Accepted to MIT, UC Davis, UCLA

Ever wanted to be an aerospace engineer? Student Angel Echevarria is one step closer to achieving his dream by being accepted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Angel said his father inspired him to excel while in high school to achieve his dream to one day be an Aerospace Engineer.

Two other Rosemont students, Roman Pshichenko and Joey Nicolino, are also on their way to achieving their dreams as well. Next fall Roman will attend the University of California Davis and Joey will attend the University of California Los Angeles. Roman is leaning towards studying aerospace engineering but is not exactly sure, while Joey is interested in Mechanical Engineering.

The success of these students has been aided by self-motivation, parental support, extracurricular activities, and most importantly, an enjoyable experience at Rosemont High School.

When asked how Rosemont High School prepared them for college, each said counselors and AP classes were extremely helpful.

“My AP teachers prepared me for college, especially Mr. Velazquez. He shares a lot of knowledge about college considering he was a college professor for many years,” said Roman. 

Joey credits counselor Pam Reeder-Esparza for helping him be accountable for his grades throughout the last four years.

Although they will be moving on, they will cherish their time at Rosemont High School. 

“Rosemont is a great school and I wish nothing but the best for future RHS students,” Joey said.
