What are your favorite classes?: Freshman Year Biology with Mr. M.
What is your most memorable moment at SEP?: My most memorable SEP moment would most likely be the 2024 Purple Out basketball game. At that time I was a freshman and it was my first big nighttime school sports event where I was cheering. It might have been the most packed student game I've ever been to and everyone across the entire gym was cheering. I then got to perform with my team for the first time in school. Everyone was supporting each other and that is the moment where I realized how important SEP spirit is.
What does it mean to be an SEP Eagle?: Being an eagle means being bold and uncommon. Bold in the sense where you put yourself out there and take risks for success. Uncommon in the sense that you are your own person and make a difference by being unique and living like Christ did.
What impact has being a student at SEP made on your life?: Being a student at SEP has made me into the person I am today. It allowed me to create friendships that I am positive will last a lifetime. It taught me not just basic school subjects, but important life skills and how to handle any situation, good or bad. SEP helped me strengthen my relationship with Christ and allowed me to grow in my faith, which I needed. This school also helped cultivate my passions, both career wise and athletically. SEP has changed my life and I owe my experience at this school credit as to why I am who I am.
