School and extra-curricular activites became a balancing
act for students. Wh ile Ct> nfi"n JJ.in ~ tf,e Xe~ac ~ of excellence,
members of sports teams, clubs, and activities tried to find
the perfect way to handle all the pressures. Each student's
routine was a little different. Variations in homework time,
family time, and alone time led to a diverse group of
students.
"I feel like I was running around like a chicken with my
head cut off," senior Denise Schwery said. "Not only am I
head photographer on the Yearbook staff, but news editor
for the newspaper and a NHS committee head for Mr./Ms.
Mustang."

students to expand their horizons. Many tried as many
new things as possible to help them focus in on their
strengths and make higher educational decisions.
"I have played on vars ity soccer and basketball all four
years," senior Alyssa Miller said. "I committed to play
basketball at Rockhurst University, but I also plan on
playing soccer. I never would have known a I my
options had I not played high school sports."
