Hearing From Hilltoppers: Hayden Brown
This is the latest installment in a new section of the newsletter by junior Lillian Laskowski, in which she introduces us to members of the SJA community.
After being born in Virginia and raised in New York and Connecticut, Hayden Brown traveled to the Northeast Kingdom during the second semester of his sophomore year to board as a dorm student. Hayden is now a senior and plays a big role in our community here at SJA. Like many others, he loves the fall scenery and enjoys all the beautiful foliage around him.

The robotics team traveled to the University of New Hampshire at Durham this weekend to compete in their last round of qualifying matches for the New England championship. They demonstrated grit, intense offensive and defensive strategies, and perseverance in order to make it to the finals of the weekend. Their teamwork, professionalism, and quick problem-solving skills allowed them to continue fighting despite challenging defense, a critical component unexpectedly reaching the end of its lifecycle during a match and bent mechanical parts.
This team was 183rd out of 185 teams last year and is 122nd out of 185 teams this year, demonstrating impressive growth. While they receive guidance from their coaches and mentors, their foundation is self-guided research, trial-and-error, and discovery. TechStorm 2523 embodies the Academy's motto; "Semper Discens."
