PHSchools Exchange Student Spotlight: Lucia Sarzi-Maddidini
Our district is proud to welcome six students from around the globe this year to the Port Huron Schools community. This week, meet Lucia!
"My name is Lucia, I am from Milan, Italy, and I am 17 years old. I am currently attending Port Huron High School as a Senior. I always wanted to participate in this experience since I was in elementary school and I found out of its existence from an older friend that spent his exchange year in Georgia.
Since I’ve been here everything has been amazing. I’ve been living a new life and I couldn’t be more happy! I’ve made a lot of friends and I love being around them and around my host family.
When I go back home I’ll have to attend my last year of High School in Italy (because we have 5 years of high school) and then after I’ll get my diploma in June 2024. I will probably attend a University in Spain."
