Most memorable SEP Moment: My most memorable moment was probably the pep rally that we had my freshman year. The energy that radiated from all of us was exhilarating and it made me enjoy having a school, a community, and a family that was so positive and uplifting. I enjoy watching any sports event that we have as we all support each other. It's more than just watching a game; it's about being part of something bigger, sharing in the highs and lows together, and knowing that we're all there for each other, win or lose.
What does it mean to be an Eagle? Being an Eagle means being part of a family that soars together. It's about the unwavering support we offer each other, whether we're working together on a tough assignment in the classroom or cheering from the sidelines at a sports event. Kindness is the bare minimum in our community. It's shows in the small gestures of help and understanding that weave through our daily interactions. We're also deeply connected by our faith, which inspires us to be compassionate and to seek ways to give back.
Giving back is a staple to the Eagle spirit. We’re committed to making a difference. Being an Eagle is about more than just academics or athletics; it's about living a life of purpose, kindness, and service, always striving to lift others as we rise.
What impact has being a student at SEP made on your life?: Being a student at SEP has truly shaped my life, mainly by gifting me a second family. The bonds I've formed here are unlike any other, and I've found people who genuinely care, trust, and support me unconditionally. I've met some of the most incredible individuals within these halls, and I know that even after graduation, this family will endure.
SEP has sparked a deep passion for serving others in me. I'm now much more eager to volunteer and help others, often thinking of them before myself. This change comes from the school's focus on caring for the community, which has taught me to feel responsible for those around me. In the end, SEP has not just educated me but has also shaped me into someone who cares more about others and the community. The things I've experienced and the people I've met here have set me up well for what's ahead. I know the values I've learned will help me as I go forward. I'm really thankful for what SEP has done for me, and I'm excited to take the spirit of this community with me wherever I end up.
