“It all starts with a spark, a flicker, a flame.
It all starts with a fire that ignites a change and grows.
Born in a world of boundless skies where sea and sun collide,
we’re made to burn bright to spin dreams from light and rise.

’Til we find a fire that is our own,
’til we know the heart that guides us on.
Born from a spark, flicker, flame.
Our spark, flicker, flame will guide the way.

Just listen. Stoke the flame.
Feel your embers burn within.
And soon you’ll know the power of a fleeting moment.
And soon you’ll know the power an outstretched hand.

Can you feel it grow? A flicker can shape a lifetime.
All it takes is a spark to set the tides of change.
Can you feel the wave? Can you hear it now?
Feel it ripple and flow. Well, now we know our fire.

It all starts with a spark, a flicker, a flame
to set the world ablaze!”
-Katerina Gimon

Congratulations - now go set the world ablaze!

Senior Spotlight 2026!

Jane is unsure, may take a gap year while auditioning for musicals/plays/films!

Favorite memory: "Getting to sing old songs with my people!"

Quote to share: "We're just ordinary people, we don't know which way to go" - John Legend. This is a lyric from the song, "Ordinary". This my favorite quote because it reminds me to take a breath and relax, and how we are all just humans who are trying.

Advice for underclassmen: “No matter what others say or think, be true to yourself. Everybody has their own path, and sometimes even the most "unconventional" ways! Society always tries to fit you in a box, but I've learned that there's so much in the world, there's no need to be shoved into an expectation. Do what you love, and embrace it!"

Acknowledgement: "I'd like to acknowledge everybody that has believed in me during the rough times. Jacob Burton, to be specific. He has supported me throughout middle and high school, and introduced me to the thing I love most, which is performing! He always encouraged me to do more, even when I thought it was impossible."

Congratulations, Jane! We will miss you next year!
