What are your plans for after graduation?
I am attending James Madison University as a dance major and possibly a digital marketing major as well!
What stands out as the greatest learning experience you had during high school?
Throughout high school, I’ve learned that prioritizing yourself needs to be a priority. You cannot give 100% percent to assignments, extra curriculars, other people in your life, etc. if your aren’t a happy and whole individual first.
What teacher made a real difference in your education and why?
Amber Corriston has had the greatest impact on my education and growth as a person throughout high school. She pushes me to challenge myself, holds me accountable, and the connection that we have created is the most meaningful bond that I have ever had with a teacher. I will miss her greatly after I graduate!
What piece of advice would you give freshman entering HHS next year?
Take ownership of opportunities!!! HHS offers so many clubs, events, workshops, etc. to its students and there is so much opportunity for growth and meeting new people!
What song best defines you?
Lip Gloss by Lil Mama

My favorite class was Algebra 2 with Mrs. Tibbles! She created a fun environment in her classroom and taught math in a way that I could understand well.
