What is the best class you took in high school and why?

Chorus was by far the best class I took in high school. Mr. Rutherford teaches his students to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. Without chorus I wouldn't have learned how to use my voice both in music and in speaking up for myself. Choir provided a break in my schedule while still exercising my brain in a different way.

------------------------------------
If you could give a shout out to a member of the faculty or staff at a Chesapeake Public School, who would it be and what would you say?

Ms. Jessica Miller, she made my most uncomfortable subject my favorite class to attend. You can tell her love and passion for teaching in the confidence she helps her students grow. She pushed me to explore topics I never would've felt comfortable with without her help.

Post Graduate Plan: University of Virginia to study Biochemistry.

------------------------------------
What is the best class you took in high school and why?

AP Chemistry, without a doubt. Iโ€™ve always believed in the idea that, if broken down to the smallest level, anything can be understood. AP Chem was the closest class I could take that even began to border that line of thought. The teacher, Mrs. Grier, was also incredible. The conversations we had in class, sometimes not even about chemistry, were always grounded and felt like a back and forth between two people who respected each other's intelligence.

------------------------------------
How do you feel about graduating?

Bittersweet. I wonโ€™t miss going to school, but I will miss walking through a classroom door and wondering โ€œwill my friend be sitting in classโ€, or โ€œwill soccer practice be cancelled today.โ€ I think anyone who doesnโ€™t say the same thing didn't get the point of high school, which to me wasnโ€™t about actually learning, but finding the kind of people you want to learn around, whether the subject be calculus or how to pass a soccer ball.

What is the best class you took in high school and why?

The best class I took in high school was College Composition. In this class I acquired amazing writing skills, an influential female figure in my life, and some of the best memories with new friends.

Please share your best advice for the rising senior class.

When I think about my dream career, I picture a rough draft covered in edits, crossed-out ideas, and notes in the margins. Life works the same way. You may not end up exactly where you planned, but every challenge, setback, and unexpected opportunity helps shape your future.
------------------------------------
What did you accomplish in high school that you are most proud of?

Academically, I am most proud of completing all four years of the International Baccalaureate Program. Outside of school, I am most proud of being named the Virginia Military Youth of the Year through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia in 2025. As a proud Navy brat whose father is retired and a current Department of Defense civilian employee, that recognition meant a great deal to me.

Ideas worth spreading. ๐ŸŽค

Graduating seniors in Great Bridge Highโ€™s Dual Enrollment College Composition course recently hosted TEDxYouth at Great Bridge High School, sharing thought-provoking ideas and personal stories with the community. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›

Guided by teachers Carrie Longworth and Christopher Lessick, students spent months researching, writing, refining, and delivering TED-style talks that showcased their creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills. The event also featured a special performance by the Great Bridge High School Orchestra, creating an inspiring atmosphere that celebrated student voice and talent. Made possible through the support of numerous teachers and student volunteers, TEDxYouth served as a powerful example of authentic learning in action. ๐Ÿพ

Congratulations to these seniors for using their voices, talents, and ideas to inspire others as they prepare for life after graduation.
