| Why did you choose Gwynedd?
The energy, environment, and community welcomed me with open arms and I realized I could be anyone I wanted to be when I walked through the doors. What extracurriculars are you involved in? I am involved in Student Council, Ambassadors, NHS, Spirit Club, Dance Club, and Soccer.
What is your favorite subject? I love English because I love being challenged in writing. I love being able to expand my vocabulary and put my personal views and thoughts in topics that we write about in class. What is your favorite part about being a Gwynedd Girl? I love being able to interact with teachers and students. I love being able step out of my comfort zone and express my school spirit to the entire community whether its through dressing up, shouting chants, or cheering people on. Do you have any tips for those preparing to apply to high school? Take advantage of visitation days and opportunities to get on campus! Take the practice tests so you have an idea of what it will be like when you actually apply. |
