“I am not popular. I love school and have since my very first day of kindergarten. My first day of high school, I was ushered in gracefully by kind teachers, helpful seniors, and wonderful coaches. I think Stowe High School is an enigma. It’s small and seemingly insignificant, and yet it has fostered amazing students: athletes, leaders, performers, students, and people. We may dream as large as we want and the teachers are there to guide and support us.”
