Why did you and your parents decide to attend Archer? I chose to enroll at Archer because it’s a place where I can truly be myself. All of the teachers are incredibly supportive and genuinely care about your success and growth. When I first visited Archer, the students and teachers were so welcoming and kind. From that moment, I knew this was the school where I wanted to spend my middle and high school years. Ever since sixth grade, my time at Archer has been amazing, and I’m so grateful to be a part of this community.

Which Archer tradition or activity do you look forward to each school year? I look forward to Night of Dance because it is so much fun every year! I have been doing Night of Dance since 6th grade, and I always look forward to being with my friends and performing on stage. I enjoy seeing the audience's energy, and that ultimately makes the performance even more exciting. When the audience has energy and we have energy as well, it makes the performance even better.

Where is your favorite spot on campus and why? My favorite spot on campus is the Historic Courtyard because, especially on days with good weather, I enjoy spending time with my friends there. It's where many events happen during lunchtime, and it's such a lively place to be. When I have free time, just being in the courtyard and studying is relaxing.
