My most honorable achievement at Western Hills University High School is earning my high school diploma with my graduating class.   Young adults are exposed to many challenges and I believe that earning a diploma from West High has prepared my classmates and me to be able handle these adventures.

What are your future plans?

My future plans are to study Fire & Safety Service Training at Cincinnati State Community & Technical College.  I am still deciding on what public service I want to do, but I know my future will have me helping people in high crisis situations.  I must further acknowledge West High because of the new EMT Program offered there, I am graduating with seven college credits and certifications in CPR and EMT Medical.

Western Hills has prepared me for my future by?

West High has prepared me for life by simply supporting my classmates and me through the good times and bad.  In my eyes Western Hills High School has been much like a family.  West High sometimes gets a bad rep, but I say it’s what the eyes can’t see about West High that truly makes it a shining star place to learn.

How has Riverview East Academy prepared you for your future?

The Riverview community has been like a second family to me. Someone is always there for me, both academically and personally. The teachers have sacrificed their time, including their lunch time, to help me with my class work. Besides supporting me in my academic pursuits, Riverview has taught me that compassion above all else is what really motivates people to be successful. I’ve learned to pay it forward.
