2023-2024 school profile
“ To where I am today, I was not alone. Teachers, friends, and my college counselor saw my potential in the classroom, and got me involved in outside research internships, volunteering opportunities, and campus leadership positions that exposed me to various professions and the personalities of those who worked in them. I was amazed; simply having the space to interact with individuals who were driven by their passion to make an impact in this world helped me find that same passion within myself to grow into the leader that I want to be for others..”
