Classic The New

All Saints’ Class of 2018 combines traditional thinking with progressive applications.

Graduates Bianca Arreguin, Abigail Purvis, Meritt Sallinger and Grace Margaret Berndt

Michael Smat ATTENDING UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

As far as a high school résumé goes, Michael has checked all the boxes. He has his sights set on pursuing mechanical engineering, likely as a result of his time as Co-Captain of the Solar Car Team and member of NASA’s High School Aerospace Scholars Program. Simultaneously, he has developed his humanities foundation through four years in the Honors College and pursuing an Honors Classics Diploma. And while his résumé also notes that he is a National Latin Exam Gold Medalist and a National Merit Commended Scholar, he’s not just your average smart kid. He was also named a 2018 Davey O’Brien High School Scholarship Finalist, an All-State Lacrosse Goalie (twice) and an Academic All-State Goalie for Soccer.

Accolades aside, Michael is a grounded kid with a humble head on his shoulders. On Monday and Wednesday afternoons, you can find him at Rivertree Academy giving piano lessons to under-resourced students.

Through his Junior Honors Thesis, he found research supporting the correlation between skills enhanced by learning to play the piano at an early age and the skills necessary to be an engineer. He examined how the brain is impacted when children ages 5-7 learn to play the piano using proper musical notation, and then he interviewed several different types of engineers to see what skills they considered necessary for professional success in their industry. The three common skills found were spatial temporal reasoning, math and creativity.

Having proven the neurological benefits of learning the piano, Michael then sought to make this opportunity accessible to underprivileged children in the Fort Worth area by starting a piano education program at Rivertree Academy. He collaborated with B Sharp, a local youth music program, to design curriculum and understand the obstacles that arise when working with under-resourced communities. For the sustainability of the program, he also collaborated with the Piano Department at TCU to enhance the curriculum and establish a reliable pool of qualified volunteers to teach within the piano program.

Nicole Adams

ATTENDING AMERICAN UNIVERSITY

With an aspirational goal to work for the U.N. as a human rights advocate, Nicole is excited to begin her college career in the midst of national policy and policymakers in eager pursuit of social justice. Her high school career includes participation in the Honors College, Student Ambassador Program, the National Charity League and Varsity Cheer Team; she has most notably been shaped by her Junior Thesis work studying the criminal enterprise of human trafficking.

After learning that DFW is a major international hub for trafficking and exploitation, Nicole collaborated with UnBound, an international anti-trafficking organization, to launch the first anti-trafficking curriculum in a DFW middle school. After a successful launch of the program, Nicole now trains program volunteers to introduce similar curriculum in their schools.

Trent Barron

ATTENDING UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA Trent may be one of the few 18-year-olds who has a 10-year plan with market research to corroborate why Fort Worth is where he will get started. With an eye toward creating a product design start-up in Fort Worth, Trent wants to help people turn their ideas into reality, and he already has a good foundation before he even starts college.

Trent’s science and math interests have flourished as a Co-Captain of the Solar Car Team, in the Honors College and in NASA’s High School Aerospace Scholars Program. Also a four-sport Varsity athlete and active volunteer at his church and in KLIFE, Trent knows how to manage time and relationships well. He has cofounded a non-profit that aims to create a greater emphasis on youth involvement in community service, an outcropping of his Junior Honors Thesis that revolved around utilizing technology and engineering to combat homelessness. For his Senior Capstone Project, Trent worked with The NET Fort Worth where he deepened his understanding of the critical impact a social support structure can provide in times of poverty.
