A 2011 Graduate With Honors: Galen Marchetti

Find out what Ivy League school Galen is attending this fall.

Galen Marchett, son of Vincent and Pennie Marchetti of Stow, describes himself as a "gentleman and a scholar."

(We're pretty sure he's read Catcher in the Rye.)

During his high school years, Galen was a member of the National Honor Society, swim team and marching and concert bands, where he played the alto saxophone. He is a proud recipient of the Harvard Book Award, a select recognition given out by Harvard Alumni for academic excellence.
