Juliette Davila, ’17, reflects on her senior year and looks forward to starting a new chapter of life.

“My favorite memory from this school year was going to the choir trip to Disneyland,” Davila said. “Next, I plan on attending Fresno State and majoring in psychology and minoring in creative writing. Some advice I would give to the juniors is to make every moment count and to enjoy their last year as high schoolers.”

Excited for senior year, Tyler Villines, ’18, plans to make the best of his last year as a student at FC. Although excited, Villines also feels nervous entering his last year on campus.

“Along with the immense excitement of senior year, it’s followed by a sense of nervousness for the uncertainty that is to come,” Villines said. “Knowing that everything I do will be my last thing I do in high school makes me feel as though I need to savor every moment.”
