Alumni Prize Recipients
Casey Berkowitz, Leonardo Gómez, and Zoe Verni
The Alumni Prize, the School’s highest honor, is awarded
at graduation to “that senior who has made an outstanding
contribution to the life of the School.”
Casey Berkowitz
Casey entered Rye Country Day School in Kindergarten
and graduated in June with an Alumni Prize, the
School’s highest honor. She excelled across the board
academically, including an enviable score of 2360
out of a possible 2400 in the SATs, while serving as
a student leader from the seventh grade through her
senior year.
She has gone on to Brown University, where
she no doubt will continue her good works and outstanding academic performance. While she has not
chosen a major field of study at Brown, Casey thinks
it may be in pre-med and/or psychology to fulfill her
long-term objective of “working with kids in some form
of healthcare. The brain interests me the most,” she
says, noting that biology and psychology were high on
her list of favorite subjects at RCDS.
Then again, it’s hard to find any subject not
on her list of favorites. Casey’s Upper School transcript
boasts 7 AP courses and 8 honors classes. In addition
to the Alumni Prize, she also has won The University
of Pennsylvania Book Award, the RCDS Spanish Award
and several high awards in the National Spanish Exam
competition.
Student government occupied a large portion
of her time. She was president of the Junior Class and
president of the Student Body in her senior year. She’ll
long be remembered for her administrative abilities
and the special events and projects that were aimed
at helping fellow students and further unifying the
2
various groups on campus: A Brother and Sister seminar was held to develop a stronger connection between
incoming freshmen and those in the Upper School;
Morning Meetings took place once every study cycle to
enhance bonding through fun projects; and a bake-athon competition was held with prizes for those who
baked and contributed their goods to a sale benefitting
Blythedale Children’s Hospital.
Casey loves to sing and hopes to continue at
Brown. She was a member of the Upper School Choir
for three years, plus a member of the Madrigals choir
in the ninth grade and a member of the Bel Canto girls’
choir in the tenth grade.
She also played three years as a center midfielder on the RCDS varsity soccer team, was active in
girls mentoring, was a peer tutor of other students, was
a campus tour guide, assisted at a science mini-camp
for Lower School students, and twice represented
RCDS at a service leadership conference at Adelphi
University.
Casey served as a student teacher in the
Saturday Enrichment Tutorial (SET) program and also
in the Student Centered Outreach Partnership and
Enrichment program (SCOPE), both of which provide
homework assistance and enrichment studies for Port
Chester grade-school students.
In the summer following her freshman year,
Casey traveled to England to take courses in medical
science and literature at Oxford University. The following summer she interned with a surgeon, “shadowing
him” through surgeries and patient consults at Mount
Sinai Beth Israel Hospital in New York City. “It reinforced my interest in medicine,” she says.
She also was a member of J-Teen, a student
service group in the Westchester Jewish community
that helped clean up and repair damage from Hurricane
Sandy in Brooklyn, and later helped clean up tornado
damage in Oklahoma City. During the school year and
in the summers, Casey visited Blythedale Children’s
Hospital on a regular basis, assisting the doctors and
nurses in caring for patients. For her Senior Term project of community service, Casey chaired a group from
RCDS that assisted at Blythedale.
Leonardo Gómez
In presenting the Alumni Award, Michael Lazar ’87,
president of the RCDS Alumni Executive Board, praised
Leo as “a standout leader of his class his entire four
years in high school. His positive approach, his energetic participation, and his willingness to help others
succeed show all of us how he leads by example and
by the power of a positive personality.”
Leo is now at Yale University, undeclared for
a major, but “excited to explore a number of possibilities.” As usual, he’s carefully planning his approach
—this time as a member of Inroads, a national organization that prepares and places talented young people
in corporate positions.
Academically, Leo, who joined RCDS in the
sixth grade, was strong across the board, with a
heavy emphasis on math. He scored high on the SATs,
completed eight AP courses, was named a National
Hispanic Recognition Scholar and was presented with
four other major awards during his four years in the
Upper School: He won the Class of 2008 Award as
a freshman, the Christine Nelson Award as a sophomore, the Dartmouth College Book Award as a junior,
and the Mathematics Prize as a senior.
His strong interest in music led to performances in two spring musicals and membership in the
choir, the Madrigals honors choir, and WildScats, an
a cappella group. A tenor, Leo also sang in the annual
Festival Chorus, with a solo in his senior year when he
also was co-president of the choir. “I love all types of
music,” he says, but listens to electronic music, rap
and hip hop in his “spare” time.
Sports also are high on Leo’s list of favorites.
He played left wingback on the soccer team for four
years and was a member of the team that won the
Fairchester AA championship in his junior year. He’s
also a rabid fan of F.C Barcelona, a leading team in the
Spanish League.
He ran three years on the track team in the
spring, first as a sprinter, and later as a middle-distance runner, both individually and as a member of
relay teams. “I was solid, but un-spectacular as a runner,” he says.
Leo has been recognized for his involvement
with a number of community service projects stemming
from Midnight Runs with his parents and three younger
brothers, which started when he entered elementary
school in New Rochelle. The family has continued this
twice a year, collecting and distributing food and clothing on “runs” to the needy and homeless in New York
City.
Leo was a peer leader; a campus tour guide;
co-president of Students of Color, a mentoring program
pairing Upper School and Middle School students;
and co-president of the Student Centered Outreach
Partnership and Enrichment program (SCOPE), which
provides reading comprehension and writing assistance to Port Chester grade-school students.
This past summer, Leo worked five days a
week in the ACTION program at RCDS, teaching a variety of courses to academically driven students from the
Westchester area. Off campus, he continues to contribute time to St. John’s Lutheran Church in Mamaroneck,
where he teaches in the Sunday school.
For his senior term community project, Leo
was on the RCDS team that helped build homes in
Nicaragua. His fluency in Spanish and interest in working with youngsters led to the local kids following him
around the site, calling him “Papa Leo.” He grew up
with the language since his father, Nelson, is a native
of Colombia, a country often visited by his family.

Zoe Verni
“ESPN is my favorite TV channel,” says Zoe, a sports
maven and student athlete who received the coveted
Alumni Award. It’s the highest honor bestowed by
RCDS and a tribute to Zoe’s amazing success.
Sports have been a key part of her life as long
as she can remember, but she also posted a great academic record before moving on to Brown University,
where she will play Division I lacrosse.
Zoe was honored as a first-team High School
All-American in lacrosse for the past two years, and
also was named to the 2015 All-American Academic
Squad.
Zoe won 12 varsity letters as a result of playing three sports - lacrosse, field hockey and basketball - over the four years she attended Rye Country
Day School. She played on ten championship teams;
received six Fairchester Athletic Association all-league
commendations and numerous school coaches’
awards; was named a Con Edison Athlete of the Week;
and at Prize Day was honored with the Mary Borton
Trophy as “the senior girl who has contributed most to
the School’s athletic program.”
Academically, Zoe completed eight AP courses, received the Humanities Award, three silver medals in the National Spanish Awards competition, and
4
the Art Department’s 2-D Studio Art Award. For the last
three years, she has been a member of the Art Club
and has taken ceramics and sculpture classes. Her
work has been displayed in school, and some pieces
have been purchased by admirers. She plans to pursue
ceramics and sculpture at Brown.
Off the playing field, Zoe also found time to
participate in peer leadership; Backyard Sports, a
Westchester organization that counsels underprivileged and special needs children; the annual Breast
Cancer Walk; and Team Up, a campus group she cofounded to encourage and organize athletes in performing community service.
In summers and during breaks in her RCDS
schedule, Zoe, a midfielder, was a member of the
Revolution, a girls’ lacrosse club that engages in development tournaments in the area. She also has been
a member of a field hockey development program in
Brewster, NY.
“To utilize my Spanish, I went on trips to Costa
Rica in my freshman and sophomore years where we
surfed, hiked and went white-water rafting while also
performing community service,” she says. The past two
summers, she also worked as a counselor at a beach
camp in her hometown of Mamaroneck.
Zoe notes that her family, including brother
Nick, a sophomore at RCDS, is rather active, particularly in water sports and hiking and in following
professional basketball, with a focus on the New York
Knicks. “My first lacrosse coach was my mother, Kate
Verni, who was captain of the women’s lacrosse team
as an undergraduate at Georgetown University,” she
says.
Zoe has not decided on a field of study at
Brown, but long-term wants to stay involved with athletics, perhaps even as a coach. “I like being busy,”
she says.
Headmaster’s Prize Recipients
Emily Duarte, Jourdan Layne,
and
Matthew Webster
The Headmaster’s Prize is presented at Prize Day to “that student
who models leadership, courage, or academic excellence.”

Matt Webster and Jourdan Layne.
Emily Duarte
Emily, a National Merit Scholarship finalist and twosport star athlete, capped her career at RCDS by winning the Headmaster’s Prize. She is now a freshman
at Harvard University, one of the many top-ranked
schools that recruited her to play field hockey.
Emily is the third member of her family to
graduate from RCDS. Her twin brother, Eric, winner
of the Auxiliary Prize and also a member of the Class
of 2015, is studying engineering at Notre Dame, and
her brother, Matthew, Class of 2007, graduated from
Amherst College.
Emily entered RCDS in the sixth grade and
maintained a high grade-point average throughout her
career. She completed nine AP courses, five of them
in her senior year. As a senior, she was recognized
with a scholar-athlete award by the Fairchester Athletic
Association. She also was honored with the School’s
Christine Nelson Award in her sophomore year, the
Harvard Book Award in her junior year, and silver medals in the National Spanish Awards competition in her
sophomore and junior years.
Emily was a member of several clubs, news
editor of Crop, the school newspaper; a campus tour
guide, an activity she headed in her senior year; a
member of girls’ peer mentoring; and, an oral proficiency intern (OPI). As an OPI she helped teach
Spanish to sixth graders as a junior and to tenth graders as a senior.
Field hockey attracted Emily in the sixth grade,
and she went on to play four years on the varsity team
as both a forward and midfielder. “Wherever I was
needed,” she says. She was co-captain and also winner of the Wildcat Award as the most valuable player
in both her junior and senior years. She was named
“Athlete of the Week” and a scholarship winner in the
Con Edison awards program during the past season.
The RCDS team won the New York State Independent
School Athletic Association (NYSISAA) championship
all four years of Emily’s career.
She also was named by the National Field
Hockey Coaches Association to its all-region team this
past season, and has been a member of USA Field
Hockey’s futures elite program, which has involved her
in national and Junior Olympics competition.
Her other sport, lacrosse, has been part of her
life since the eighth grade. Emily was a forward on the
varsity team for five years, was a three-time honoree
of all-league recognition by the Fairchester Athletic
Association, and starred on the RCDS team that went
undefeated in 2015 and won back-to-back NYSISAA
championships in 2014 and 2015.
Emily and her family “love basketball,” and
she also enjoys travel, tennis, and reading, particularly
historical fiction.

Headmaster’s Prize Recipients
Jourdan Layne
Emily Duarte, Jourdan Layne,
Jourdan was a “lifer” at Rye Country Day School, starting in Pre-Kindergarten and continuing through the
Upper School, where she was awarded a Headmaster’s
Prize this past spring. She now is a freshman at
Muhlenberg College, where she aims to become certified in education while majoring in psychology.
Jourdan’s goal is to become a teacher, “perhaps at RCDS,” she says, noting that she has strong
ties to the School. In her senior year, she served as
an ex officio member of the Alumni Board, and prior
to graduation was elected as a Class Agent. She also
worked as a receptionist in the main building during the summer of 2014, and was a counselor in the
School’s 2015 summer ACTION program, where she
helped teach students from Westchester public high
schools.
Jourdan lives in the Bronx with her mother and
sister, Brittani Nivens, a member of the RCDS Class
of 2004, who is studying for a doctorate in English
Literature at the University of Capetown, South Africa.
Brittani graduated from Trinity College and then
received a masters in English Lit at Capetown.
Muhlenberg attracted Jourdan because of its
“amazing” education and dance programs. She had
strong academics at RCDS, with a concentration on the
arts, particularly ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance.
She was selected as a member of the School’s Cedar
Street Dance Company, a performance troupe, and also
taught dance at the Carver Center as part of her community service activities.
Jourdan played Rusty, a lead role, in Footloose,
the 2015 spring musical, and previously had been a
featured dancer in Guys and Dolls. She sang as an alto
in the Upper School Choir, which performed in Italy and
Croatia in 2013.
She also participated on the track and field
team — as a sprinter in her freshman year, and as manager of the team in her senior year.
Jourdan was a co-executive member of Peer
Leadership, which provided services for the needy;
a member of the middle school Diversity Club; and a
member of the Students of Color Mentoring Program.
For her senior term project, she joined the RCDS group
that helped build two houses in Nicaragua, “an amazing trip,” she says.
Off campus, Jourdan’s major interest remains
dance. She dances with a group at her church, the New
Testament Temple Church of God, where she also leads
the children’s dance team. Her performances include
those at the church on Sundays and also in competitions at home and away as part of Teen Talent. In May,
she placed second in individual contemporary dance
in the New York State championships and qualified
for the national championships in Cleveland, Tenn., in
August.
Otherwise, Jourdan enjoys traveling, reading
fiction, trying different restaurants with her family, and
pro basketball.

Matthew Webster
Matthew Webster
Matt had a short, but productive career at RCDS, highlighted by winning the Headmaster’s Prize and leading the School’s baseball team to the championship
of the New York State Independent School Athletic
Association (NYSISAA).
Matt joined RCDS in the ninth grade, posted
an impressive four-year academic record, made
strong contributions to community service projects,
and starred in baseball. He’s now a freshman at Tufts
University, which recruited him for baseball. His interests are economics and international relations — and
in playing baseball, of course.
He particularly enjoyed math, science and
history at RCDS, taking several honors courses in his
first two years and seven AP courses in his junior and
senior years. As a junior, Matt won the Yale University
Book Award. His interest in international relations
was stirred by his four-year participation on the Model
United Nations Team, which convened with students
from a number of other countries in an annual Ivy
League Model U.N. Conference at the University of
Pennsylvania.
Matt was co-head of finances for Peer
Leadership, working on providing food, clothing and
other basics for the homeless and needy, as well as
helping teach a freshman lifestyles class. He also was
a campus tour guide and a speaker at Open House, an
event for prospective students and their families.
Matt’s senior term project as a member of
Bridges to Community was a highlight of his career.
He was one of 14 students who worked with local citizens to build houses and help renovate a school in
Nicaragua.
Off campus, he volunteered to mentor youngsters with special needs at Pleasantville Cottages.
Through it all, baseball has remained Matt’s
special love. He played varsity baseball all four years:
second base as a freshman and shortstop for the last
three. As a sophomore, he hit an eye-opening .511
and received the Coaches Award. And the Fairchester
Athletic Association honored him with two all-league
awards and one honorable mention. He was co-captain
of the team this past season when it finished with an
overall 16-5 record and was undefeated in its sevengame climb to the state championship. Matt batted
.397 for the season and had three hits in the championship game, an extra-inning 3-2 win over Hackley
School.
During the summer, Matt plays club baseball.
For the past two years, he has played the infield for the
New York Grays, a travel team based in New York City.
He has hit well over .300 in games in the New York
area and from Maryland to Indiana and Ohio.
It’s no surprise that Matt is “a die-hard
Yankees fan,” something he’ll have to deal with at
Tufts, which is located in the heart of Red Sox country.
