Quotes from our Seniors - Class of 2021

SENIOR ATHLETE FALL SPOTLIGHT
This Fall we had thirteen seniors participating in our three Varsity Sports that were offered; Soccer (6), Tennis (3) and Cheerleading (4). Each of our Seniors became a part of our Athletic Program their freshmen year! When asking our seniors if they wanted to continue playing their sport in college, the majority said intramurals or club teams only, definitely for fun, because they want to concentrate on their studies!
 
As some are still deciding on where they plan to continue their education next year, some of their majors will include Education (Early Childhood, Special Education) Interior Design, Architecture, Accounting, International Business, Criminology, Exercise Science, Political Science and a few for Nursing!
