Valedictorian Julia Reinhard

Julia Reinhard is the Class of 2026 valedictorian. Reinhard has made a lasting impact at Greenville through her leadership, academic excellence, and dedication on and off the field. She has served as class president, National Honor Society vice president, and captain of the varsity soccer team. She participated in club soccer, Captains Club, Poetry Club, YMCA Youth & Government, and served as a youth soccer coach in her free time. Reinhard’s favorite Greenville memories come from late-night soccer practices under the lights with her teammates, combining friendship and her love for the sport. She is especially proud of becoming the first valedictorian “in a family full of salutatorians” and finally deciding on her college plans―studying economics on a pre-law track at SUNY Binghamton. She is the daughter of Jason and Courtney Reinhard of Greenville.

Salutatorian Nicole Chase

Nicole Chase is the Class of 2026 salutatorian and has distinguished herself through academic achievement, leadership, and involvement across the arts and athletics. Nicole has been captain of the varsity cheerleading team, president of Student Council, served as the student representative on the Building Level Team since middle school, and as the Board of Education student representative in her senior year. Throughout high school, Nicole was involved in DECA, where she made it to Regionals, States, and Nationals, National Honor Society, SADD Club, Mixed Treble Chorus, Jazz Band, Concert Band, and four musicals―all while pursuing the full IB Diploma Programme. One of her favorite Greenville memories was traveling to Greece and Italy with her IB Latin class this year. She is most proud of being selected for DECA’s International Career Development Conference in the club’s first year at Greenville. In the fall, she will attend SUNY Oneonta to major in biochemistry on the pre-med track while double majoring in political science. She is the daughter of Bradley and Renea Chase of Medusa.
