Emily Newman Throughout her junior and senior years at Charles Page High School, which she describes as unforgettable, Emily Newman loved attending the football games and pep assemblies. When she graduates, Emily says she’ll miss the liveliness and camaraderie in the hallways the most. If she could give advice to the underclassmen, she would tell them: “Don’t feel like you have to do every single thing. It’s not the end of the world if you miss an event. And live life to the fullest!” While attending Charles Page High School, Emily also attended Tulsa Tech, where she became a licensed nail technician. Post-graduation, Emily will work in a nail salon and attend Oklahoma State University to study business.
Quinton Firey The one word Quinton Firey would use to describe his senior year at Charles Page High School is wacky. Involved with Future Farmers of America and the National Honor Society, and a concurrent student at Tulsa Tech, Quinton says his favorite part of his senior year was hanging out with his friends and making signs and banners for the school using skills he learned at Tulsa Tech. If Quinton could give one piece of advice to underclassmen at Charles Page High School, he would say: “Just be yourself. Don’t try to fit in with certain people to hold a certain ‘status.’ Do whatever makes you happy and fulfills your interests.” After graduation, Quinton plans to attend College of the Ozarks to study Business Administration and Marketing.
Taylor Spencer If Taylor Spencer, the senior class president at Charles Page High School, could give underclassmen one piece of advice, she’d say, “Never take anything for granted, and never wish away high school because it will be over before you know it.” Taylor, who is also a varsity cheerleader, member of the Student Council, and National Honor Society officer, says her teachers and peers challenged her to be the best person she can be. Taylor says her senior year was memorable, including the last opportunity to dance with her teammates at the National Cheerleading Association nationals. Post-graduation, Taylor plans to major in elementary education and become a 4th grade teacher.
