Skyline High's Luca Belconco publishes science fiction novel Sola before graduation

In a recent Hallway Minute at Skyline High School, Superintendent Horsley highlighted the impressive achievements of student Luca Belconco, a CTE Presidential Scholar and published author. During their conversation, Belconco shared insights about his science fiction book, "Sola," which explores a future where languages are engineered to enhance cognitive abilities, leading to conflicts with a generation ship from Earth.

Belconco, who has been working on this multi-year project, successfully self-published his book on Amazon. He expressed enthusiasm for continuing his writing journey, indicating he has more ideas for future works. Beyond his literary pursuits, Belconco is actively involved in school life, serving as president of both the Tech Club and the Technology Student Association, and participating in the instrumental music program where he plays clarinet and saxophone.

As he approaches graduation in a few months, Belconco plans to attend Purdue University to study engineering. He reflected on his educational experience at Skyline, particularly valuing the connections he made through the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, which he believes has contributed to his well-rounded education.

Superintendent Horsley praised Belconco's accomplishments, emphasizing the pride the Granite School District takes in nurturing such talented students. As Belconco prepares for his next chapter, his story serves as an inspiring example of student achievement and creativity within the community.
