Dacula Patch Whiz Kid of the Week: Jacob Fuller

Each week, Dacula Patch seeks suggestions from readers for individual kids, youth groups, teens and even sports teams that wow us with their accomplishments. Here’s a look at this week’s nominee.

Senior, Dacula High School

Accomplishment: Dacula High School swim team captain Jacob Fuller earned a Georgia Cerificate of Merit with a 3.95 GPA.

Key to Success: Though Fuller is one of the Falcons’ top swimmers, he’ll be trading in his goggles and swim trunks next year as he enters the University of Georgia as a biology and pre-med major. Fuller has always excelled in the classroom, touting a 3.95 GPA and the Georgia Certificate of Merit, awarded to the top five percent of students their junior year. The Falcons’ captain has not always been a swimmer, however. Fuller started swimming competitively and took to it quickly, earning the team’s most improved swimmer award. But despite his love of swimming, Fuller says science is his true passion and is taking biology, chemistry, and anatomy this year before he enters the UGA honors program after graduation.
