🎓SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Celebrating Ezekiel

Ezekiel was accepted into 13 colleges: Alverina, Drexel, Duquesne, Elizabethtown, Gannon, King's College, Lebanon Valley, Mercyhurst, Penn State, Robert Morris, Susquehanna, Washington College, and New York Institute of Technology. He will attend Penn State in the fall, starting at their Harrisburg campus on a full ride scholarship. He plans to pursue a degree in computer engineering.

In his own words: "New technologies have always fascinated me. In elementary school, I joined a robotics club. This was my first experience with coding. We built a machine that could walk across a table and pick up objects. I love to learn and am always thinking of possible inventions or wondering if different theories will work. I do not always have the resources to prove my hypothesis yet, but one day I will. In college, I want to learn how to create and improve both hardware and software. For a career, I dream of one day making new inventions or improvements to ones that already exist. I would love to create an invention that gets a patent, to look at something that blesses others and say: 'I made this.' I have an inquisitive mind, care about others, work well on a team, and can bring a community of people together for a common goal. Problems do not scare me; they motivate me."

We are really proud of you, Ezekiel, and can't wait to see what problems you solve in this world!

🎓SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Introducing Orianna

Orianna was accepted into every college to which she applied: Messiah, Penn State, Liberty, Gettysburg College, York, and Drexel University. She will attend Messiah in the fall on a full ride scholarship and was accepted into Messiah's honors program. She is also the recipient of the local $2000 Big 33 Scholarship. Orianna plans to major in nutrition.

In high school, Orianna represented our school in the Future Leaders of York Program, volunteered as a teacher's aide in a grammar school classroom, was a finalist in the Optimist International Oratorical Contest, served as JOI Club's first secretary, started on our volleyball team, was vice president of student government, held down the same job for four years, and maintained a 4.0 GPA.

Orianna believes it is part of her life calling to bridge the gap between traditional and functional medicine. She wants to become a certified nutritionist and aid clients in recovering from illnesses or, even better, preventing them altogether.
Her advice to younger students: "Trust in God. Work hard, make the most of the opportunities He brings your way, and have faith that He wants your good. There is truly nothing impossible for Him."

We are so proud of you, Orianna, and are confident that God is going to use you to bring wholeness and healing to many people.
