This week The Banner sat down with Harriton Junior Roshni Parikh. Roshni is an avid Eagles fan and is thrilled to have seen the Super Bowl victory last Sunday.

If she’s not on the tennis court crushing Lower Merion, you can find Roshni participating in one of her many clubs, spending time with her friends, or giving back to her community. Roshni is an impressive member of the junior class, so the Banner sat down with her this week to see what she’s up to.
