Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself and things you do in and out of school.

A: I’m Izzy! In school, I like to try out new clubs, like the Greenhouse Club and APEX. I play cello so I’m part of the Huron orchestra and I really enjoy that in school! Outside of school, I do a lot of reading, creative writing and hanging out with friends!

Q: Out of all your extracurriculars, clubs, and sports, which one is your favorite and why?

A: My favorite club would probably be APEX because I get to learn a new skill, like staffing or glowsticking, and I get to hang out with my friends! I also like that APEX gets to perform for middle schools and at Multi Culti so I’m excited for those events too!

Q: How are you liking your first year at Huron?

A: I’m really liking my first year at Huron! I like all of my classes a lot and the electives I get to take like yearbook. I also enjoy being able to eat outside for lunch because it’s nice to get some fresh air in the middle of the day! I like the bigger school and how many clubs there are too!

Q: Who is one of your favorite teachers and why?

Q: What is a class you want to take in the future and why?

Q: What is something you weren’t expecting about high school?

Q: What advice would you give about the first weeks of high school to incoming 8th graders?

A: I would say definitely create a routine, like what routes you take to your classes, when you use the bathroom and who you walk with because it makes the first few weeks easier to navigate! Also, be open to meeting new people because there are a lot of new people and it’s a great chance to make new friends!
