This week’s Senior Spotlight features cheerleading captain, Lucy Rose. Lucy does not cheer solely for those playing on the field or the court, she also brings happiness to her friends, classmates, teachers, and especially her fellow cheerleaders.

Lucy’s infectious enthusiasm shines when she is working with her fifth grade students as a part of the STARS tutoring program, an organization in which she currently holds the position of President. Academically, she has shined as a member of the National Honor Society from tenth through twelfth grade, served as a Junior Academic Graduation Marshal as a part of the top 25% of her class, and was nominated by RMA for the all-inclusive Park Scholarship at NC State. Athletically, Lucy is captain of the Varsity Cheerleading team and was MVP of the team as a junior. Although Lucy is a great cheerleader, her athletic career was at its height when she scored a buzzer beater 3 point shot during her freshman year on the JV Basketball team.

Recently, Lucy was accepted to her first choice school, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This acceptance is not surprising to those that know her well because her intelligence and caring disposition make her a great candidate for admission at practically any college.
