Ever since his first day as a Redwing, George Lynch has made an effort to establish himself as a prominent member of the Benet Academy community. George greatly appreciates the ability to get to know so many unique people at Benet. He has made lasting bonds with many of his fellow Redwings through his participation in a variety of Benet extracurriculars.
At Benet, George has been involved in cross country, track, robotics team, scholastic bowl, and the career exploration club. He often generously donates his time and talents to volunteer at the SEASPAR events. George’s generous spirit does not end there, however, as he is an integral part of the volunteer community at his parish, St. John of the Cross. In addition, George challenges himself by taking AP and honors classes, yet still manages to achieve first honors. The Benet Community is certainly lucky to have someone as outgoing, motivated and altruistic as George.
In just one year, George hopes to be starting his college education at either University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign or Purdue University. He would like to be a product design engineer. Eventually, he hopes to start his own engineering firm: “If you don’t have a boss, you pick the vacation hours,” said George, stating why founding an engineering firm is so intriguing. Outside of work, George would like to live a stable life and own a decent house. However, he does have daydreams of owning a Porsche 911 Turbo S. George’s pursuit of a stable, prosperous adult life has greatly benefitted from all of his success at Benet Academy.
Outside of Benet, George enjoys spending time with his family. He has one sibling, an older brother named Kevin who graduated from Benet a couple of years ago. Kevin’s fantastic experience at Benet was a main reason that George ultimately decided to follow in his brother’s footsteps. In his free time, George enjoys reading and running. He also enjoys working with his hands, such as by repairing electronics, an activity that he has grown an immense talent at doing. George’s favorite foods are chicken alfredo and New York strip steak, the latter preferably from his favorite restaurant: Wildfire Steakhouse in Oak Brook. George does not spend much time watching television, but when he does, he likes watching movies such as Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Another one of his pastimes is watching Chicago Cubs and Chicago Blackhawks games. Siesta Key, Florida is a place that holds fond memories for George.
Within the Benet Community, George is a familiar face with an unique, likeable personality, and therefore he is a Redwing You Should Know.
