Q. What do you believe are three keys to being a good student? Passion, attention to detail, positive mindset.

Q. What is your favorite class and why? My favorite class was AP Government & Politics. I enjoyed the content as well as the discussions that took place with my fellow classmates and Mr. Oren throughout the course.

Q. Who is your favorite teacher and why? Mr. Oren or Mr. Coady. I truly can’t pick. Mr. Oren is very knowledgeable. I took three classes with him, but I would without a doubt take more if I could. The learning environment in Mr. Oren’s class is something I will always remember. Mr. Coady is always willing to help out with any questions and I thoroughly enjoyed every day in his class despite math not being my strongest subject.

Q. If you could change one thing about your educational experience, what would it be and why? I wish there would’ve been more long-term impactful projects, such as a senior capstone. I think our class specifically would’ve been very successful with this type of project considering the creativity and desire for change among students.
