What is/was your favorite class at Pius X, and why? My favorite high school class was Spanish 3. I loved having Maestra Bonk as a teacher, and I enjoyed the content we learned and the fun projects we did.
How has your faith journey evolved during your time at our school? Are there particular experiences or programs that have significantly impacted your spiritual growth? I have grown in my faith through learning how to pray and going to Restore. I also enjoyed stopping in the chapel, if I had some time, to have a quiet place where I can go pray.
What are you most proud of about your time at Pius X? I am proud of how I have grown as a person and then relationships I have made here at Pius.
Where are your plans after high school (college, military, job, etc.)? What do you plan to study? I plan to attend Nebraska Wesleyan University where I will be on the Pre-Dentistry Path.
