Seniors' Advice to the Class of '29

"Every opportunity that you're presented with, take it. Take it and have fun with it. Really get to know people who can help you in the long run. And when you make it up there, check your ego at the door. ... Just make sure that every opportunity that someone hands you, take it, have fun with it, and make it your dream." Rion Bolden

"A lot of 8th graders come into high school with the mindset that they're all that and that they're cooler than everybody. ... I think that making sure that you're not taking away from opportunities you could have because you're not having an open mind and you're thinking oh, that's not cool or oh, I don't want to do that. I think that it's really important that you're going to high school to learn, to get friends, and to make good experiences and memories." Mercy Olaniyan

"Show up and take the chance. Even if you've never done it before, just show up. If it's a club or an extracurricular, just give it a shot. You don't know who you're going to meet in there. You could meet your best friend in there. You just don't know. You have to give yourself the opportunity to excel." Luke Sigler

"Find what you're passionate about and pursue it wholeheartedly. I could never sing, so choir is definitely not my passion. But I know a lot of people who are in choir and they love it so much. For me academics has been a passion because I love learning. I've thrown myself into academics and it's brought me a lot of good experiences. And it's appreciated after you graduate, too."
