Susquehanna Community High School Junior Molly Griga not only lit up the stage in a lead role for the school's Spring, 2025 production of School of Rock, but also demonstrated outstanding leadership and initiative behind the scenes. According to Drama Club advisor Elizabeth Matis, Molly was instrumental to the musical's success, not only as a standout cast member, but also as the creator of the advertising flyer and the compiler of the show's program and playbill. "She showed true dedication to the club and was an incredible asset," said Mrs. Matis.
Molly Griga
A longtime fan of Broadway musicals, Molly stepped out of her comfort zone with her first lead solo performance. She has always excelled as a dancer and actor, and this production showcased her singing talent as well. Playing Summer Hathaway, the band's manager, Molly found herself connecting deeply with the character, describing the role as strikingly similar to her own life.
Molly's commitment to the arts is just one part of her impressive resume. She is a member of the National Honor Society, a football cheerleader, and participates in both marching and concert bands. She also serves as captain of the archery team, dances with the Susquehanna Dance Company, and holds leadership positions as Class President and Student Council President. Beyond school, she actively volunteers with the Susquehanna Fire Department on both the fire and EMS sides.
