With preparations fully underway for a May 28th graduation, Bishop Feehan High School proudly announces its top-ranked students in the Class of 2026 with a special focus on the school’s latest Valedictorian, Salutatorian and Tree Dedicator (third-ranked student). Four years of academic excellence, along with active involvement across all of Feehan’s many extra-curricular offerings are the common denominator.
The top ten students (alphabetically) are: Alexander Bove (Wrentham, MA), Catarina Carvalho (Attleboro, MA), Maxwell Comey (Foxboro, MA), Moira Cosgrove (Mansfield, MA), Ryan Ford (Wrentham, MA), Sydney Merhige (North Attleboro, MA), Xyden Procaccianti (North Attleboro, MA), Ananyaa Sunil (Wrentham, MA), Cassandra White (North Attleboro, MA).
More specifically, Feehan can now share its top-three students, who each will have featured speaking opportunities during the graduation-day events: Valedictorian Alexander Bove, Salutatorian Moira Cosgrove and Tree Dedicator Ananyaa Sunil.
“Alexander, Moira and Ananyaa, and the entire Feehan Class of 2026 make their soon-to-be alma mater incredibly proud,” said Feehan President Tim Sullivan. “These students arrived at Feehan four years ago and helped strengthen our community through their leadership, character, and commitment to others. Their accomplishments reflect the very best of Feehan, and we look forward to celebrating them at our upcoming senior events and watching them represent Feehan with pride for years to come.”
