Current Homeroom Teacher: Mr. Peter Jones

Favorite Teacher: One of the best teachers I have ever had is Miss. McBride, my preschool teacher.

Favorite Subject: Language Arts, because I like reading. I just finished reading Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods.

Current Academy Programs: Young Professionals, 4H Leadership, Robotics, Man Up, and High School Prep.

Favorite Academy Program: I like High School Prep because I like being prepared and it is helping us get ready for high school. Last semester I had to choose three of my favorite high schools and share what I liked about the high schools and why I felt they would be good choices for me.

Fondest Memory of School (So Far): Recently, my classmates and I went on a retreat and met the REAP Team. It was a lot of fun. We watched skits, did group activities, and talked about real-life situations.

What are you looking Forward To: I run the short distance and am looking forward to joining the track team in high school.

Prospective High Schools: I am hoping to attend John Burroughs, Chaminade, or Ladue High Schools.

Role Model: My dad is my role model because every time I do wrong he teaches me right.  He is always there for me.
