Meet our Students
Jack Townsend, Cupertino High School, Class of 2020
Jack will be attending Southern Oregon University
“Participating in two vastly different sports provided a great opportunity for me to learn and to immerse myself in the culture of the school. I got to see so many different athletes with so many stories to tell and so much wisdom to share. I was able to train with some inspiring and dedicated people who made it easy to follow in their footsteps. No matter if I was performing well or poorly, my coaches always expected more from me, and their high expectations fueled and inspired me to always pursue more from myself. Without my peers, I wouldn’t be half the competitor or person I am today. Cupertino provided a safe and fun place for me to get better and also help others around me. I found myself improving not only as an individual, but as a leader as well. I wanted to help others just as past teammates had guided me.”
Marie-Claire Norins, Class of 2020
Marie-Claire will be attending Purdue University, majoring in Hospitality and Tourism Management and minoring in Event Management
“Get involved as much as possible and as early as you can. I sometimes feel like as a freshman, fear or embarrassment got in the way of pursuing things I truly love like school spirit. What I have learned over the course of the last four years is that I never should have let these obstacles hold me back in the first place, because as soon as I got involved in activities I enjoyed the most, I was able to discover new passions and amazing people. I will never forget the feeling I got the night of our Winter Formal, the rush that I sensed when I got to see so many students having such a great time after my team put months of planning into executing this event. This is a feeling I want to chase for the rest of my life and that is why I have chosen to pursue a career in event management.”
