Abbey Higginbotham

Abbey is a senior Normandy High School in Parma and is a member of the National Honor Society.

I have over 90 hours of community service, my favorite being when I volunteered at St. Augustine’s Hunger Center. It felt amazing to know that I was helping feed those who did not know where their next meal was coming from.” Abbey will be attending the University of Akron in the fall of 2021 to study speech-language pathology.
