My high school experience has been very unique and I have been very blessed to have it. I came to St. Joes in Grade 8, rather than Grade 9 like everyone else. My grade was the first class to be attending a Renfrew high school in Grade 8. The fact that I was so young - walking around this building scared me, but everyone here was so great.
Over the years, I admired the people who ran on Student Council. To me, it looked like they had so much fun organizing Spirit Days so the whole school could look ridiculous and have fun doing it. In Grade 10, my friend Holly and I agreed to run for Spirit Ministers together. The elections were at the end of the year and we had some competition. We campaigned with posters, and with our speech we included a video. We won! Holly and I were Spirit Ministers of St. Joes for our entire Grade 11 year. We worked so hard and had so much fun. We decided to get rid of all the old ideas and bring in new and exciting ones. We started new traditions such as the Amazing Race, and the annual Black Light dance. We also changed the house colours for the first time in about 10 years.

I am now in my senior year here at St. Joes. We just had our senior prom, and it was so much fun. It was great to have a day with my friends where everyone was so fancy and looked great. I have some new teachers this year that I've never had before. Miss Clouthier is a new teacher to our school who took over teaching my Communication Technology class. This semester seems to be flying by and it feels good to know that in a week and a half I will no longer be classified as a high school student.
