How did your years at GSS benefit you in all of your post-graduate experiences and help make you who you are today?
I always look back with extreme fondness at my early years at GSS, and the fantastic education I received. The small class sizes, encouraging teachers, and nurturing environment were all of great benefit to me. This early start helped prepare me for the years of education to follow and for my professional career. I’m extremely grateful for my wonderful GSS education.

Who was your favorite teacher(s) and/or what was your favorite subject(s)?
Ms. Berkebile’s art class was my favorite. I always loved the creative freedom in her classes.

Any special experiences, memories or quotes?
I loved forming my earliest friendships at Gulf Stream School. I also enjoyed field days and reading time in the library.
