“Live in the moment,” said February Senior of the Month Salvatore Della Fave, a key figure in Edison High ’s sports program. 

Sports have been a huge part of Della Fave’s life. He has been an active baseball player both in and out of school. He is the EHS captain for baseball for the 2022 season. In 2021, he was recognized as EHS’ athlete of the week as well as named to GMC All White Division Team, GMC All-Conference First Team, GMC All-Star Team, and NJ.com All-State Third Team after the season ended. He was also MVP after his performance in the Middlesex County vs. Hudson County All-Star Game and scholar athlete at EHS.

Once he graduates from EHS, Della Fave will be attending American International College to play Division 2 baseball as well as study in a 6-year physical therapy program. Reflecting on his past experiences, Della Fave would like to tell younger students that “No matter how hard it may get or how stressed you may be, never forget to take in every moment.”

Through his life at high school, Coach Abene had introduced him to his favorite quote: “ For he’s with you / clear to the end and you’ve passed your most difficult, dangerous test / If the man in the glass is your friend.”
