Student Profiles

Senior Year:

It's hard to believe senior year is actually here! My first three years were everything and more I wanted in my high school experience. Although the concept of leaving Catholic High is frightening at the moment, I am in no way concerned about my personal level of preparedness needed to endure the many demands of college. Catholic High has greatly prepared me for college by offering many AP courses and supplying me with a rigorous curriculum to follow. Catholic High has helped me to decide my career choice as well. Due to my exposure to medical internships and participation in the Catholic High Nurses' Club, I am now confident in my decision to pursue a career in the medical field. I'll be sure to make my last year filled with more memories that will surely last a lifetime.

STEM Program:

The STEM program was what drew me to Catholic High. I wanted a school where I was going to be challenged to think about the world as a whole and how I could change it. Without a doubt, it's been one of the best decisions I've made in my life. Though women continue to be underrepresented in STEM fields, Catholic High has empowered me to do more with my learning in such fields than I ever thought possible. Over the past few years, I've learned how to design apartment buildings, program robots, and even protect computer networks from cyber attacks. More importantly, though, STEM has taught me valuable life skills that I will carry with me long after I leave the program. As I learn every time I attempt an engineering project or a lab in science class, I may not get the answer the first time, but with enough hard work and determination, I can figure it out.

Freshman Year:

As I complete my Freshman year, I reflect upon the decision I made to attend TCHS.  When the school year began, TCHS was a destination; a journey into higher education and young adulthood.  Today, as I look forward to my Sophomore year, TCHS is my second home!  I am a three- season scholar athlete.  I probably spend more time at TCHS during the week than at my own home.  I can't imagine it any other way!  I've been challenged academically and am moving into Honors classes.  I am challenged in each sport I play; striving to improve my own skills and contribute to our teams' success.  I have made so many new friends and have been lucky to have so many fantastic teachers.  I look forward to the next three years with enthusiasm and excitement.   I am just afraid that I'll blink and it'll all be over...VIVA CATHOLIC HIGH!
