A Legacy Student: Amaya Fife’s Academic and Personal Achievements
Killian Senior High School is one of the oldest in Miami-Dade County, a legacy school. So when a veteran faculty member says Amaya Fife might be the best student ever produced at Killian, it’s the highest of praise.
A Student of Exceptional Caliber
“She’s a great student, she’s an incredible leader, she’s charismatic, she is giving, altruistic, No. 1, it’s no exaggeration,” said Mark Barnett, the activities director, who has been at the school for 32 years.
A Student Who Always Pushes Herself to Excel
Amaya is the type of student who is always pushing herself to not just succeed but to excel.

Ranked First in Her Class

Amaya has earned a Cambridge diploma with distinction, she is the senior class president, the National Honor Society president, and she leads or is a member of several other clubs as well.
Time Management and Surrounding Herself with Good People
Amaya’s secret sauce is time management, but also, the company she keeps.
“I definitely surround myself with more responsible students and sometimes I see other people and I kind of give ‘em a little side-eye because I don’t know what they’re doing or why they’re so irresponsible, but I surround myself with good people, my friends are good people,” Amaya said.
A Student Who Cares About Everybody
It’s one thing to be academically brilliant in every class, it’s another thing to have a quality that Amaya possesses which might be more important in the fractured times in which we live: she cares, about everybody.
“So I think it’s really hard to describe Amaya without using the word selfless,” said Marian Rodriguez, one of Amaya’s classmates.
A Future in Space Exploration
