Follow messageGlenwood Senior High School Class of 2011
CHATHAM, IL
My focus in high school has been my academics. Most of my classes are honors and AP classes. I'm active on the school's soccer team, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and National Honor Society Lunch Buddies. I currently carry a 4.825 GPA on a weighted 5.0 scale. Most of my interests outside of school involve sports and volunteering. I am also a certified USSF soccer referee and spend much of my time volunteering at the Special Olympics, St. John's Breadline, church, and the LPGA State Farm Classic. I am an IL State Scholar and a Chicago Fire All-State All-Academic First Team member.
