CHICAGO, IL: WILLIAM JONES COLLEGE PREPARATORY HIGH SCHOOL
Cassidy has managed to intertwine her creativity and self-expression with the help of her sewing machine. Realizing her clothes could express the passions, values, and experiences that shape her, she’s constructed colorblocked sweatshirts, tank tops, bike shorts and more. These clothing creations have incorporated meaningful materials from her life. She’s even used recycled clothes to design and create new pieces that she’s sold online, and donated the proceeds to The Innocence Project & Bail Project.
The Class of 2025 brings a rich array of experiences to campus. Gabriel Kaplan MINNEAPOLIS, MN: ST. LOUIS PARK HIGH SCHOOL

Ethan Masadde KAMPALA, UGANDA: KING'S COLLEGE BUDO
