SWR’s Shealyn Varbero Named Scholar-Athlete

Shoreham-Wading River senior Shealyn Varbero is this week’s Scholar-Athlete, earning recognition for her outstanding accomplishments in athletics, academics and leadership throughout the school community.

A standout three-sport athlete, Varbero has established herself as one of the Wildcats’ most versatile and accomplished competitors. She is a two-time soccer captain and an All-County selection, helping lead her team while setting an example for her teammates.

On the basketball court, Varbero helped the Wildcats capture both county and league championships, adding to an already impressive athletic résumé.

Last school year, she took on a leadership role of a different kind, spearheading the creation of Shoreham-Wading River’s flag football team. Varbero went on to earn All-State honors as a quarterback, throwing for more than 3,000 yards and leading the Wildcats to the small-school state finals.

Her commitment to the community extends well beyond athletics. Varbero serves as senior class secretary, sits on the Suffolk County Student-Athlete Leadership Board and represents students on the Board of Education. She is also a unified basketball volunteer and a longtime Girl Scout currently working toward the organization’s prestigious Gold Award.

In the classroom, Varbero maintains an impressive 94 unweighted grade-point average and is a member of the National Honor Society.

Through her dedication, leadership and accomplishments, Varbero exemplifies what it means to be a student-athlete, making an impact in the classroom, on the playing field and throughout the Shoreham-Wading River community.
