The June Casey’s Student of the Month is Grant Kim, a 10th-grade student at The Haverford School. In recognition of his exceptional achievements, Grant has been awarded a Certificate of Achievement, along with a Gift Card from Casey’s Public House, the generous sponsor of this program.
Grant is a well-rounded student at Haverford who enjoys getting involved in a wide variety of activities, both athletic and academic. He is an enthusiastic participant in several sports, including Cross Country, as well as both Indoor and Outdoor Track. He also has a black belt in Taekwondo.
Beyond athletics, Grant is involved in multiple extracurricular groups that reflect his diverse interests. He is an active member of the Soft Robotics team, where he enjoys applying creative problem-solving to build and innovate using cutting-edge technology. Grant also contributes to the Service Board, which helps organize volunteer opportunities and community outreach. In addition, he participates in AMP—the Academic Mentor Program—where he helps fellow students succeed academically, and he is a part of the Focus Group, Haverford’s Christian affinity group, which provides a space for students to explore and grow in their faith.
Grant has a strong interest in community service and is always looking for ways to give back and make a difference. Looking ahead, he is already thinking about the future. “I have many interests. My plans will include college, possibly an engineering major,” he shared, highlighting his enthusiasm for problem-solving and innovation.
One of Grant’s proudest accomplishments so far has been designing and producing a working IRON MAN mask using a 3-D printer—a project that combined his passion for engineering, creativity, and hands-on learning. With his drive and curiosity, Grant is sure to continue achieving great things in the years to come.
