Thayer’s community makes the school unique. I always receive support from my classmates, teachers, and coaches and have the opportunity to make strong bonds with them. 

I’ll attend Georgetown University to continue both my academic and athletic careers. I’ll play Division 1 lacrosse while majoring in Human Science on a Pre-Med track. 

Algebra II Honors during my freshman year challenged me the most. It was a very difficult class, but Mr. Chiari was very helpful, and the extra-help periods paid off. 

Thayer allowed me to grow my confidence as an athlete, student, and person. It taught me how to be a part of a community, how to ask critical questions, and how to be a leader. 

Mr. Chiari was extremely supportive when I was having trouble in his Algebra II Honors class. He was very flexible when it came to meeting for extra help, and he made himself available around my soccer practices. 

My favorite meal is Chef Doug’s salmon with jasmine rice. 

This atypical year allowed me to think outside the box. With Special Olympics, soccer, and my studies, I came up with creative ways to navigate a difficult year. 

My favorite Thayer memory was Homecoming my junior year. We were playing against our rival, and there was so much support during our game. It was amazing to see teachers, alums, and friends supporting us and cheering us on. 

The fact that we see our teachers both in the classroom and out on the field coaching us is a perfect representation of how the faculty gets to know us on multiple levels and as an overall person.
