Every year during the school graduation ceremony, Waterford gives a book award to the top male and female student in the 11th grade. With a rigorous class schedule that included AP Calculus, AP US History, AP Art and Honors Spanish, Elliot managed to earn a straight 4.0 each semester and was chosen to receive the award. He didn’t know he had been chosen until they called his name and he got to go up and walk across the stage at Abravanel Hall!
