Trip to Costa Rica

My class trip to Costa Rica was an incredibly rewarding experience. Each day was filled with vibrant moments, from yummy local food to the rush of white-water rafting through stunning landscapes. A personal highlight was conquering my fear of heights while ziplining, such an empowering moment of overcoming my fears. Getting to connect with the local people by practicing my Spanish added another layer to the journey, making it a truly unforgettable trip.

JAGS Accelerated English 10

In my sophomore English class I was assigned with reading the book A Hope More Powerful than the sea. Reading this book in class impacted me, it immersed me in the refugees' struggles, revealing humanity;s resilience and global crises.

JAGS American History

My history project, creating a yellow journalism article, was both fun and insightful. It showed me how easily public opinion can be manipulated. This hands-on experience gave me a fun way to see the press's power and the critical need to read carefully, especially when historical events were influenced by such deception.

Spanish 3

My Spanish 3 "familia" was a project group I worked with in Spanish class sophomore year. It was a team working in collaboration and cultural exploration throughout the year. We navigated complex grammar, translations, and assignments and presentations together. This class, and especially our "familia," helped me investigate the world by immersing us in the diverse perspectives of Spanish-speaking cultures. Beyond verb conjugations, we learned to appreciate different ways of thinking, communicating, and problem-solving, truly broadening our global understanding.

Summit Night Documentary/Chemistry

The sophomore documentary project in JAGS wasn't just another assignment; it was a huge undertaking, it changed our understanding of collaborative creation. Working in groups of four, we spent months of effort crafting a compelling documentary for Summit Night. From brainstorming concepts and conducting countless interviews to meticulously editing footage, every step demanded dedication and teamwork. This project taught us invaluable lessons in research, storytelling, and perseverance, culminating in a piece we were truly proud to share. It also showed the realities of working in groups, both good and bad. We all had to mature as individuals, teammates, and as friends.

Band Trip to Hawaii

Our band trip to Oahu, Hawaii, was an unforgettable journey that truly brought the "investigate the world" pillar to life. Beyond the incredible food and the thrill of marching in the Waikiki Holiday Parade, the serious significance of this trip was how it immersed us in cultural and historical experiences. Our memorial performance at Pearl Harbor was a profoundly moving experience, allowing us to connect with a pivotal moment in global history and pay respects to those who served. Exploring the Dole Plantation offered a unique insight into Hawaii's agricultural past and its role in the global economy. Every interaction, from learning about local traditions to witnessing the island's unique ecosystem, expanded our understanding of a world beyond our own, fostering a deeper appreciation for diverse cultures and shared human history.
