Why did you choose º£½ÇÊÓƵ?
I chose º£½ÇÊÓƵ for its very welcoming community for me to transition into from such a small middle school, and not having to worry about grades in relation to peers (for example: valedictorian/salutatorian, top or bottom of class) in order to be able to focus on my own grades and goals. I also really appreciated how kind and open faculty members were right off the bat, even though they didn’t even know who I was as a prospective student.
Favorite class you’ve taken at º£½ÇÊÓƵ and why?
My favorite class has to be Applied Algebra with Precalculus taught by George Larivee, because being taught by a teacher who enjoys what he does so much makes the class so much more enjoyable. I’ve grown to prioritize math and love it so much because this one teacher has made it so amazing to experience.
What is your favorite boarding memory or tradition?
My favorite boarding tradition is the house competitions that we have on Wednesdays, because they bring a sort of competitive atmosphere to the boarding community. The rewards at the end of the year from the winning house make it so fun and something to look forward to while trying to be the top house for the year.
Advice to prospective students?
Be your true self. º£½ÇÊÓƵ is a school that values a person for what makes them them. Don’t think about whether or not you come off as authentic, because that’s where you lose yourself, so just go with the flow and trust everything to fall into place.
Share a moment where you knew you belonged at º£½ÇÊÓƵ:
I remember all through 9th grade fall, I would often contemplate whether or not I should do wrestling or basketball. I wasn’t good at either, but when I made the choice to wrestle, the upperclassmen and 10th graders on my team made me enjoy this chance so much and proved the truth of what it means to be on a team at º£½ÇÊÓƵ.
