Xavier College Preparatory senior Sejal Patel earned a Rocky Mountain Emmy Award for a public service announcement she produced about the danger of texting and driving.
She entered the PSA into the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter, as part of its high school and college program.
The Academy awarded the Emmy to Patel and Xavier for her PSA entitled “Don’t Text While Driving.”
This is Patel’s second Emmy from the organization. She previously won for a short about her family.
She was also nominated this year as a high school writer for her short “Life With the Patels 2: Oh Deer!”. Her film “The MatchBreaker” was a 2023 Arizona Student Film Festival selection.
Along with playing soccer as a forward on Xavier’s soccer team, Patel is working on college applications where she plans to major in film production.
Xavier College Preparatory, located at 4710 N. 5th St., is an all-girls Catholic high school in Phoenix.
