Finally becoming a junior and senior and getting the freedom to drive to school, go out to lunch, and not have to be in study hall for free periods.

When I performed in my first marching band competition. I was fortunate to have such a supportive flute section with leaders who were very encouraging. I was confident that our section would absolutely nail it on the field, with our flutes angled at exactly 91 degrees, our chins held up high and our posture tall and proud. It was the greatest feeling stepping onto the huge field with my band and witnessing the crowd of people in the stands. I could not help but feel nervous, even though I knew the music and the drill like the back of my hand. The moment we played our first note, I felt chills all over me. The music filled my heart with excitement and joy and I just could not have felt more alive in that moment. This was my place and these were my people. Hearing the crowd roar after our performance only proved that further. It was one of the most rewarding experiences showcasing all of our hard work and feeling that sense of accomplishment. – Francesca Pollock

Mr. Terhaar has dress up days where we each do research on a certain historical figure and then we present what we learned by dressing up and acting as that historical figure. I initially found these to be a bit embarrassing as I didn’t feel comfortable with dressing up and giving a speech. But, by the end of the year these were some of the best days of class and I really enjoyed the experience, especially when I tried to do a Bostonian accent and it came out as a Southern accent. – Nathan Jankowski
The football and basketball games – Neoshia Davis
My favorite memory from PR is the days I got to hang out with my friends in usually the same spots and laugh having a good time. – Paige Aldape

I love the message of this club and I hope to see more and more people join it and take the life lessons we discuss. – Paloma Gasparov
Meeting my close friends – Patryk Bombala
The Math Team state bus. Every year (well, except for when state was cancelled), it’s a PR tradition to watch Mean Girls on the way to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The trip is a blast. We sing, eat, and just generally have a good time. There’s also a fair share of intra-team competition going on. (For example, how I’ve beaten Saif Karim the past 3 years.) – Paul Lim
