2024 Senior Spotlight at Olney Friends School

Post Grad Plans – Studying at Marietta College, where I will study History with public history, Gender, and Women studies as my minors. I want to get my masters in the field of history and Appalachian studies. I would love to do a study abroad. I would also like to get my certification in welding. Favorite Olney Memory – My 1st AAG! I was on the red team with Rey as the captain. I didn’t know I was supposed to wear red but I wore green! The water slide was a memorable and fun activity and is still my favorite part of AAG. Advice for future seniors – Don’t put off your college applications and essays! Your senior year flies by so make sure you enjoy it!
