In what grade did you start at Charlotte Christian?
Fifth grade

How has Charlotte Christian impacted you or made a difference in your life and how has Charlotte Christian prepared you for life after graduation?
CCS taught me to take advantage of all my resources – especially my teachers, given how knowledgeable they are on their subjects. After graduation, I will continue to seize opportunities and pursue excellence in higher education by sharing my curiosity with teachers, diving deeper and extending beyond topics covered in class.

Is there a Charlotte Christian teacher, staff member, or coach who had a significant impact on your life and why?

All of my teachers have been wonderful, passionate about their subjects, and really smart.

Specifically, Mrs. Ramsey has worked many hours with me to craft and finalize my college essays. Her receptiveness and insight make her office the safe space for me to process all my jumbled thoughts. Together, we work the magic of piecing those thoughts into coherent ideas and well-polished pieces.

Favorite CCS memory:
The tenth grade San Francisco Winterim trip — sitting on the rocks next to the Golden Gate Bridge.
