DILLON-SETH SMITH
Dillon-Seth flexes his entrepreneurial spirit for the greater good through the novel fundraiser he championed as freshman and sophomore class president at Archbishop Curley High School. The Class of 2026 purchased and sold vintage school sweaters and used the proceeds to fund class outreach. Additionally, he did outreach with the Ulman House Foundation to help young adults with cancer. As the current student government vice president, he organizes several community-building school events.
A top-ranked student and gifted orator and organizer, Dillon-Seth can see a need, discover ways to address it, and inspire others to join him. He tutors younger students, volunteers at Ezekiel’s Closet (a clothing-sharing mission of his church), leads food drives, and volunteers at First Fruits Farms.
“Dillon-Seth puts innovative ideas into action to engage in missions for his class, school, and faith communities and is emerging as a young man of purpose and destiny.”
