Maryada Family Foundation Awards Local High School Graduates of 2023

Maryada Foundation recognizes students since 2016, who make the greatest strides during their high school years, not necessarily the top students. This year, one local student was recognized based on nominations from their teachers and school counselors.

At Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School, the recipient is Mr. Aaron Prata, who has never allowed his serious personal difficulties to define him. He is mature, insightful, and dedicated to his academic work and his community. One of Aaron’s most impressive qualities, however, is his interpersonal skills; his ability to communicate effectively far surpasses his peers and that coupled with his insightful nature make conversations with him so engaging. Aaron is the epitome of a go-getter. He earned the Boy Scouts highest rank of Eagle Scout with his project, The Veterans Walkway for War on Terrorism, at the Rehoboth Town Hall. Aaron was also awarded the University of Rochester, Xerox Award for Innovation and Information Technology.

Foundation board member, Dr. Shuowei Cai, presented the award to Aaron, on May 31 at Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School Awards

“We at the Foundation believe that making successful best efforts in all that is needed to succeed. It teaches the fundamental technique to living a successful life,” said Foundation President, Prof. Bal Ram Singh.

We wish our recipient the best in their future endeavors.
