Favorite subject at CRLS
Creative Design

Why is it your favorite subject?
Creative design helps me de-stress from all of the other things going on in my life. It is a way for me to just do what I like and catch up with myself mentally.

Favorite CRLS Staff Person
Ms. Max

What makes that staff person so special?
Ms. Max is the best teacher I've ever met because she is able to not only be an amazing teacher but also be your friend. You can talk to her about anything and she will be there for you inside, and outside of class.

Extracurricular activities, clubs, school-related activities
I've participated in many clubs as well as sports. The club I liked the most was Club 4 because I was able to fulfill my community service hours for NHS while also just hanging out with my friends during that time. I also played football for somewhat 3 years (counting the broken season of 2020) and I was captain for my last 2 years.

What were some of the out-of-school time (O.S.T) programs that you participated in anytime between grades 6-12?
N/A

How did being enrolled in any O.S.T. program(s) contribute to your success both in and out of high school? 
N/A

What did you like most about CRLS? Why?
The thing I like most about CRLS is that the school is based on a lot of supports for its students. I know that if I were to walk into any class at CRLS, the teacher that is there will want the best for me and put systems in place to make me become the best version of myself that I can be.

What is something people unfamiliar with CRLS should know about the school? Why?
N/A

What advice would you give incoming freshmen about CRLS?
Make a lot of friends. It might be intimidating at first but as you join clubs and sports teams, you will find people that you genuinely like spending your time with and eventually you will be with those people for the next 4 years and not even realize how much fun you had with them.
