Asher Cronin is a rising senior at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring. He decided against testing into the STEM magnet program due to its scheduling conflicts with his gymnastics. However, he has still attended many of the magnet classes. He has completed several projects in Python and Java for school and has also joined his school’s SysOps team to help redesign the school website. He hopes to pursue either math or computer science in college and is very excited to be researching cybersecurity this summer. Outside of school he is part of a competitive gymnastics team, but also likes to find time to relax with his friends or read a book.
