We got quotes from seniors as to why they believe these are our 2022 “Unsung Heroes”
“Brooke is incredibly selfless and so strong. Especially after the loss of a close family member, she takes care of her family and is still very involved in school. She shows up to lacrosse every day to make us happy and smile, she doesn’t necessarily get all of the credit she deserves.” Maggie Wolfsheimer about Brooke Fenush
“Makaylie has been my best friend since seventh grade, there is no one that is as consistent, non-judgmental, and caring as her. No matter who you are or what you’re going through she will always be there. She never makes things about herself and is truly the definition of an amazing person and friend. Anyone that knows her is beyond lucky.” Erin Ryan about Makaylie Mostert
“Julia is a sweet, reliable, and fun person. During student council, she always follows through with her commitments and makes her school involvement a priority. Her laugh is contagious making any room light up when she’s there.” Hannah Funderburk about Julia Manganti
“Andrew is a super down-to-earth person who genuinely cares about his friends and their feelings. I always feel like I can go to him in time of need as he goes out of his way to help me. When I was in a time of emotional distress Andrew helped me move my things and get me back to my normal self. He’s understanding and his compassion never goes unnoticed.” Cooper Green about Andrew Shaeffer
“No matter the situation Katelyn is always there to cheer you on. She is an extremely uplifting person on the team. It has been an honor being her teammate.” Steph Neuheimer about Katelyn Meli
