class of 2026 senior spotlight morgan birmele. my Favorite HS Memory the #1 Skill I'm Taking with Me Advice for Future Seniors Plans after Graduation Resilience. High school taught me how to handle pressure, bounce back from mistakes, and keep going even when things didn’t go my way. I’ve learned that setbacks don’t define me—how I respond to them does Playing sports with my sisters Don’t stress yourself out trying to make everything perfect. It’s okay not to have your whole life planned out yet. Focus on doing your best, meeting deadlines, and taking care of yourself. The future will come — you don’t have to have every answer right now. To go into the work force.

class of 2026 senior spotlight alivia capovilla. MY Favorite HS Memory the #1 Skill I'm Taking with Me Advice for Future Seniors my Plans after Graduation The number one skill that i’m taking with me is my ability to speak in public with confidence. My favorite high school memory was getting accepted into the Cosmetology program at the tech center and making new friends from other schools. Venture out! It’s not too late to try something new! After graduation I plan to finish Cosmetology at the tech center and get licensed. Then go to SMC or NMU for nursing to eventually become a midwife nurse.
