IN THE SPOTLIGHT

FROM MENTORS

Feedback from the Mount Vernon School

Sophia brings the same energy to a classroom discussion that she brings to the cheer mat. She listens, she asks good questions, and she makes the whole team better.

Ms. Rivera

Teacher, The Mount Vernon School

Working with Sophia on the Innovation Diploma Leadership Team felt like working with a peer, not a student. She brings structure to the group, but she's the first to ask for our input.

Mr. Thompson

Innovation Diploma Advisor

Sophia doesn't just lead the room, she builds community around her. On the prefect committee, she made sure every voice felt heard, not just the loudest one.

Student Life Coordinator
