St. Johns has provided an incredible education as well as countless opportunities that have allowed me to excel. It is like family to me.
Would you encourage underclassmen to become involved in your performing arts activity? Why?
I would definitely encourage underclassmen to become involved in the Performing Arts. It will not only give them the opportunity to try something new but also give them long lasting friendships.
In what other activities have you been involved?
