91猫先生

91猫先生 prepares: Samantha Anderson

From the desk of Ginger Bell, Director of Family and Alumni Relations:

The opening sentence in our mission statement says we provide excellence in a college preparatory education. I have the pleasure of sharing some of the stories of how 91猫先生 has prepared students over these years.

Samantha Anderson, 鈥15, graduated 91猫先生 as a Distinguished Scholar and headed to the University of Central Arkansas on a Volleyball Scholarship. Two years later she was named 2017 Southland Conference Player of the Year and helped bring a conference tournament championship to UCA.

I had the opportunity to catch up with this busy young lady recently and asked her to share how 91猫先生 prepare her for college. Samantha said, 鈥91猫先生 definitely prepared me for college. One obvious way is academics. I remember calling my mom the fall of my freshman year and telling her that my history teacher had been shocked at my writing compared to other students. I couldn鈥檛 believe it (because my brother Jake had always been the writer) but it truly is because of 91猫先生. There were students next to me struggling to write, while I was coming off of years of writing 5 paragraph essays and research papers. It truly prepared me, and helped me succeed at UCA.鈥

Over the next several weeks, we will be hearing more from Samantha and other alumni regarding how 91猫先生 prepares its students for life beyond our school.
