What do you love about Iroquois?
I love how vibrant our community is, and how nice and communicative our teachers are. Doing activities and having interesting conversations with my teachers are the best parts of going to Iroquois.
What are your future aspirations?
I’m hoping to go to college with a double major in creative writing and film, and travel all over the world I suppose. I want to establish my own film production company and/or write a book series. What teacher has made the most impact on you and why? Mrs. Doverspike has probably made the most impact on me, probably because she always has such a happy, positive outlook towards difficult subjects. I never thought I’d be able to do trigonometry and actually enjoy it, especially when math isn’t my strong suite. I took a different class of her's this year because I enjoyed trig so much last year. Favorite Quote:

8th Grade Elite Brave: Makenzie Buck
What do you love about Iroquois? I love the staff, students, and faculty, I love the classrooms and the time we get to learn and spend time with friends.
What are your future aspirations? I want to go to Mercyhurst college, and work in the FBI/BAU, I want to live close to family, and I want to go to Italy. What teacher has made the most impact on you and why? The teacher that has made the most impact on me is either Mrs. Glennon or Mrs. Kidd. They have been there for me since I got to Iroquois, and they’ve treated me like their own. They have made a huge impact on my life with the bad days I had when I thought I wasn’t good at school. They have talked through troubles. Mrs. Glennon is overall just a great teacher and made me love science since I’ve gotten to Iroquois.
