ZACHARY LOPEZ-BRENNAN...RECIPIENT OF THE 2017 ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP!
Congratulations to Zachary Lopez-Brennan, the 2017 recipient of the $2500 Redwood Alumni Scholarship.He is also the son of Redwood Alum Michael Brennan '86. He is planning to attend UCSB in the fall to study Physics and Astronomy, with a special interest in rocket science. While at Redwood, he maintained a 3.94 GPA and was involved in the Rocketry Club, the Robotics Club, Peer tutoring and Model United Nations. He was a National Finalist for the Team America Rocketry Challenge, and a winner in the Marin and San Francisco Science Fairs. This probably gave him an advantage on the Redwood Ultimate Frisbee team! He was a life member of CSF and the Redwood Honor Society.

As well as being involved at school, he volunteered at an Elderly Care Facility all four years and worked as a computer tech intern throughout his high school career. He is a very motivated and determined young man, and very appreciative of the Alumni Scholarship.
