Sara is one of the most dedicated, gifted, bright, self-driven and determined students I have ever met and she is truly deserving to be this year's NOCCA President Honors recipient, coming from Classical Instrumental.

It is with real pride to have been witnessing Sara’s tremendous growth at NOCCA, during the past two years she has been with us. Her accomplishments are already quite remarkable and I know without a doubt that she will reach her dream to have a musical career of performing with the most prestigious orchestras and be someone that will inspire many to follow her path.

Sara has displayed the drive and dedication that is a hallmark of the professional musician. Her efforts in striving to attain the highest levels as a student and performer of music deserve the acknowledgement and praise of her teachers, her peers and the community.

Congratulations Sara on your achievements, and best of luck in your continued pursuits!
