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.
