Jasmine Woodard is a gifted, determined scholar-athlete, who has demonstrated considerable personal initiative in reaching her academic and athletic heights. Throughout high school, she has poured her talents and energies into her studies, teams and other wholesome pursuits.

Jasmine ranks in the top 10% of her class, with a 93.76 grade point average. Her lofty classroom achievement is consistent with her Regents test performance across a wide range of subjects. Math is a particular strength and Jasmine is enrolled in Advanced Placement Calculus and has a three-year Regents math test average exceeding 90.

In addition to team practices, camps, showcases and more, Jasmine has worked hard in the weight room and in independent running. She has no GCS peer in this regard and her results speak for themselves. She was a two-year captain of the varsity field hockey team, which finished at 18-2 and made it to the State quarterfinals last fall. She is the school record holder in assists for a season and career and is also the all-time Section 2 leader in this category. Jasmine was also a starter and an all-conference performer on last year’s Sectional finalist basketball team. Earlier this basketball season, Jasmine was injured in a varsity basketball game and recently underwent successful reconstructive knee surgery

Although she is average in size, when Jasmine drives the ball towards the goal in a field hockey game, she overpowers opponents and then frequently passes off to others. This seems an appropriate metaphor for Jasmine’s successes in athletics and school. She prepares for success, answers challenges, lets no obstacles stand in her way and elevates those around her.


Jasmine has other interests outside of academics and athletics. She is a member of the National Honor Society and traveled with the French Club to France last year. She also works part-time in a local grocery store and has volunteered at Breakfast With Santa, at an Autism charity event and has collected non-perishables for the Food Pantry.

Jasmine will take her championship qualities to college next fall, ready to flourish in academics and on an intercollegiate field hockey team. Among the colleges she is considering are SUNY Cortland and Ramapo College of New Jersey. Jasmine is the daughter of Ken and Paula Woodard, each of Greenwich and has two siblings: Joselyn Woodard (GCS ‘05) and Jacob Woodard (’08).
