Fondest memory of High School: Winning Homecoming Queen
Which teachers have had the biggest impact on your and why? Mrs. Chapuis, our guidance counselor, because she has gone out of her way to make sure me, and all students, are always doing okay and everything is going well in the classroom and outside of school as well. She is always willing to help no matter what.
Who is your role model and how did they influence you? My coach Marley Hall. She has taught me to be more confident and let the little mistakes go.
What is special about your High School? It’s a small school so everyone knows each other. We are all close and know each other well.
If you go back to when you were a freshman, what advice would you give yourself? Be more confident in yourself and don’t care so much about what other people think. Just be yourself!
