The Next Play: Why the Best is Yet to Come for Colin Fakhari

For Colin Fakhari ’30, the journey to Nichols School began with a bit of a twist. Originally from Florida and now living in Elma, N.Y., Colin wasn’t the one who initially lined the green-and-white hallways of Nichols. "It’s kind of a funny story," Colin laughs. "The lacrosse coach wanted me to come here... but my sister, McKenzie ‘28, ended up loving the tour even more than I did. She enrolled first."

Colin watched McKenzie dive into the workload and the community. Seeing her find her footing gave him the confidence to follow her footsteps. Now an 8th-grade Prefect and a key part of the lacrosse team, Colin has found that the school is less about the scoreboard and more about the person you become while you're trying to win.
