Senior Quotes The formative years of high school have ups and downs with a variety of classes and experiences but the one thing that stays with the graduates is the relationships they form. Read what peers and teachers have to say about the graduating seniors.
GEORGIA AVERY
“Being around Georgia makes me feel safe. I could spontaneously regress into a baby and she’d handle it wonderfully. Maybe it’s her sheer maturity, maybe it’s her nurturing mom instinct, both of which will earn her many visits from ailing animals once she ventures into the veterinary world. I just hope this noble career leaves her enough time to hang out with old friends like me.” - Elizabeth Bisno
CONLEY BALL

ALEX BATES “All I can say about that creature is that he is one of kind.” - Devin Hernandez
ROBBIE BROWN

While growing up being friends with him I’ve seen him develop into a confident, generous and charismatic individual. I am very thankful to have known him for all this time and am glad to call my closest friend.” - Finn Walker
ELIZABETH BISNO “Elizabeth, you truly are the change you wish to see in the world. You love Mother Earth and will defend her fiercely. Life on this planet is dear to you in all its diversity -- and you, its champion. I see you as a 21st-century Joan of Arc, a heroine with a heart of gold. Always curious about new cultures and human psychology, you approach both the texts and situations with a mind of an anthropologist. No matter your calling, you will build bridges into a better, brighter future!” - Ms. Hill

Our class wouldn’t be the same without him, and I can speak for everyone when I say we all appreciate him, even if he is a bit sarcastic sometimes.” - Oscar Houglet
DEVIN HERNANDEZ “Devin Hernandez is not only a spectacular athlete, but also a phenomenal best friend. He never ceases to impress whether that’s on the court or just day-to-day.
