Beverly Hills High School (BHHS) senior Karina Kruger will attend Columbia University this fall to study Public Policy. Kruger’s outstanding record at BHHS includes a perfect GPA and 13 AP courses, including every advanced history class the school offers.
She helped lead the Academic Decathlon team to the state level, earned top medals across subjects and conducted award-winning science research focused on food preservation. She also worked to expand sustainability efforts through City Greens, BHHS’s hydroponic gardening initiative.
In addition to her academic achievements, Kruger completed a Russian immersion program in Latvia, tutored elementary school students and served an internship at the Beverly Hills City Manager’s Office under Nancy Hunt-Coffey.
“Karina is one of the most talented interns we have had. Her research and analytical skills are excellent. I have taught at the graduate level at both UCLA and USC and I believe that her work rivaled that of my graduate students,” Hunt-Coffey told the Courier.
