Congratulations to FernLeaf 10th grader, Hannah, on her acceptance into the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics Residential Program beginning next school year! 🎉

"With all the anticipation and nerves building up over the last few months, opening up the decisions page and seeing the acceptance letter truly felt fulfilling in itself. As the school year closes out, I look back on all the memories and friendships made over my past 5 years at FernLeaf with a full heart.

Through leadership opportunities, such as the Ambassadors program, and various overnight travels, these experiences have prepared me for my future at NCSSM. Ultimately, the creative, supportive, and uplifting environment that FernLeaf and its community have built over the years has served as a foundation for my growth and success."

We are so proud of Hannah for this amazing accomplishment but her presence will be missed at FernLeaf! Best of luck on this exciting new adventure, Hannah — we know you’ll do amazing things! 💚

FAVORITE QUOTE: "No matter where life takes me, find me with a smile. The pursuit to be happy got me laughing like a child.

Life couldn't be better. This is gonna be the best day of my life." -Mac Miller
