Stace Lin: RHS Performing Arts's Shining Star 

Stace Lin can only be described as a phenomenal performer; not only in the performing arts, but also in her academics. On campus, she is more widely known for stealing the stage during RHS choir concerts. 

Around RHS’s campus, if you ask who Stace Lin is, ten out of ten times you’ll find nothing but positivity about her character. Stace participates in a number of clubs including K-Roses, Choir, Drama, Ceanothus, CSF, and Ecology. 

Delving deeper into her performing life on campus, Stace has performed in a total of eight choir concerts with the RHS Chamber Choir and a wide number of solos. She is also the first soprano in RHS’s Choir, and is also a performing member of K-Roses here on campus. She has performed multiple times with the dance troupe, doing dances such as ‘Do the Dance’ by Illit and ‘Debut’ by Katseye. 

In addition to this, Stace has also performed in two RHS Drama productions in her time here. She has played Margret in the RHS production of “Much Ado About Nothing” and Bethany in the RHS production of “The Last Day of School”. 

Besides the overwhelming amount of performing she does, Stace is also one of the voices for student advocacy in our Ceanothus Council at Rosemead High School. Ceanothus was founded to stand up to and for issues around campus, such as sexual assault, grooming, child abuse, and suicide. How does she help? As the head of the Ceanothus Council, she initiates conversations about these difficult topics with our administration team in order to benefit and protect our student body as a whole. 

Academically, Stace has been a gold renaissance student for the past three years of high school, and is enrolled in multiple AP classes such as AP Studio Art, AP U.S. History, and more. She is constantly putting her best foot forward into whatever she tackles, making her incredibly smart and ambitious. 

When asked about her best quality, Stace answered with, “My best quality is my optimism! I think toxic positivity has always been an interesting subject, and many might hear the things that I say and roll their eyes. But the truth of the matter is: happiness is a choice. There are a million different ways that a situation (and person) can be perceived. And choosing the perspective that helps me pick myself up and keep going is really the key to everything I do”. 

Her extreme positivity is just what continues to make her shine so brightly on RHS’s campus, uplifting not only her friends but herself. She continues to make people feel welcome no matter who they are, and despite how busy she is, she continues to strive to become her best-self, generating a warm energy that can inspire anyone around her.
