Senior Spotlight

What is the most influential book you have read besides the Bible? Why?
Reading The Screwtape Letters was huge because it offered a different point of view. It was extremely convicting and showed me aspects of my faith that I never would have thought about otherwise.

What is your favorite or funniest moment at Geneva?
The Cornerstone football game last year was one of my favorite Geneva memories. Yes it was raining and yes it was an away game but nevertheless our student section still showed up and rocked the stadium. The crowd kept the energy up the entire game and just made it an extremely memorable and fun experience.

What will you miss most when you leave Geneva?
I will miss the supportive and loving Geneva community. No matter what I’m doing, I always feel like both my peers and my teachers are there to help and encourage me.

Who has influenced you most while at Geneva? How?
Mrs. Greenlees has been super influential throughout my years here. I don’t quite know how she does it but she managed to keep equations and formulas fun, engaging and easy to learn. It was so encouraging to see her do what she loves and instill and instill that love into others. Walking into math class was never daunting and that was because of Mrs. Greenlees (haha! and also her stories).

What does being a Geneva student mean to you?
Being a Geneva student means being a student with character. Not only do we strive for excellence in the academic field, but we also desire to be Christ-like in our demeanor and in everything we do.

How would you encourage a Geneva kindergartner to persevere in school?
I would tell them that though it’s hard to learn the basics, its super important to focus and nail down the fundamentals of things like math and English because everything else builds on top of those.

What about Geneva do you hope never changes?
There’s a certain school spirit that every student seems to share, not only at athletic games but also throughout every regular school day. I hope that this love and vigor for our school stays around forever.
