Shoutout to recent graduate Abby Balsley for winning the Miss Teen Ohio America pageant! She is the only Zanesville teen to ever win this statewide pageant!

She now focuses on the Miss Ohio Teen Volunteer pageant taking place in August, and a second state title. No Ohio teen has ever won both events in the same year before, good luck to Abby!

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: Jeya Wilson, HARVARD GRADUATE!

Jeya is a member of the class of 2018, and she just earned her Masters in Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design!

After graduating, she accepted a position with a national architecture firm in Boston as a Designer I.

Her advice for younger Blue Devils: "Sometimes you are going to want things in life that you have no idea how to get. It may be scary, seem impossible, or you may have to do it alone, but there are people out there willing to help - it’s up to you to ask for it."
