A: “I am a member of National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, Science National Honor Society, National English Honor Society, Thespian Honor Society, Quill and Scroll Honor Society, Key Club, Medical Careers, and Health Science Club. I am also a co-president of Student Government, and treasurer of the choir, Theater Arts Club, Musical Theater Club, and Thespian Honor Society.

Along with being the Editor-in-Chief of the Arrowhead’s broadcast team, I created Montoursville’s first ever award winning podcast on teen mental health. I am the designated school photographer, and the operator of the Montour Moments Instagram page. Outside of school, I dance three nights a week at the Katie Benson School of Dance, where I am also a student dance teacher.”

A: “‘Flowers grow back even after the harshest winters. You will too.’ -Jennae Cecelia”

Q: Do you have a favorite school tradition? If so, what is it?

Q: What is something that you enjoy doing in your free time?

A: “If I have free time, I like making things! Arts and crafts is always the way to go.”

Q: Pick either a favorite singer/band/song, movie/TV show, or book, and tell me a bit about why it is your favorite!

A: “I love watching comedy specials because whenever I am sad, upset, or anxious I can turn that on and laugh and all of my problems go away.”

Q: What is a goal of yours for senior year?

A: “To leave the school better than when I walked in four years ago.”

Q: If you could give any advice to future seniors, what would it be?

Q: As of right now, what are your plans for after high school?

Q: Do you have a favorite school tradition? If so, what is it?

A: “I love to listen to music when I work on drawings or read.”

Q: Pick either a favorite singer/band/song, movie/TV show, or book, and tell me a bit about why it is your favourite!

A: “I’m definitely a cinephile at heart so I can’t really narrow it down to one. But a favorite song of mine would have to be “Imagine” by John Lennon. My grandfather and I have the same music taste and that was one of his favorites.”

Q: What is a goal of yours for senior year?

A: “To grow more as an individual and be a more positive person regardless of how the day was.”

Q: If you could give any advice to future seniors, what would it be?

A: “I would tell future seniors to buy a mini digital camera so they can record everything before it goes by. Senior year goes by ridiculously fast and you’ll miss it if you don’t slow down, but make sure to still enjoy it to its fullest no matter what!”
