Sophomore Rami Shihabi dances at a pep rally as the only male on the Rockette drill team. He is the first boy to perform with the Rockettes. “The first time I saw Rami dance I was astounded at his ability to pick up movement,” junior Gracie Fisher said. “If the teacher told him to do something he would just go for it and nail it the first try. He is never afraid of a challenge.”

TEDx Speaker Collin Kartchner speaks with Grant Johnson and Beau Cormican after his presentation at the high school. Kartchner passed away from a life-threatening condition Oct. 20, 2020. “I started this movement three years ago because of my family friend who ended up dying from suicide,” Kartchner said in an interview following his speech. “Later we found out that so much of it had to do with the stress and anxiety from social media.”
