Congratulations to graduating seniors Gerardo Pedro Alanis and Christopher Castaneda!

Back in November, we asked seniors to answer a few questions (any 3 of those below), and here are some of their best answers.
- What is a superpower you wish you had to get you through high school?
- What is the best advice you’d give to an incoming freshman?
- Give your senior quote, if you have one.
- What are your plans after graduating high school?
- What’s your dream vacation after graduation — no budget, no rules?
- Looking back, what is something you wish you would have done differently in high school?
- If you had to take a Disney Character as your senior prom date, who would it be and why?
- What song would best describe your high school experience?
- What's something a teacher has said to you that has stuck with you? (It can be any teacher.)

Only 1 post left! (Yes, that means only 2 more Senior Spotlights.)

Families of graduates... If you don't see your graduate, ask them if they answered the questions. (They have been sent to them at least 3 times since November, but less than half the class responded by the deadlines.)
