🌟 Senior Spotlight: Hannah 🌟
While attending Norman High School, Hannah was in cheer, student council, Kindness Club, Mu Alpha Theta, Rotary, AAPIA, FCA, and National Honors Society. She appreciates her time at High because "with the help of amazing mentors and peers, I have been prepared and educated to be the best leader and version of myself for the next steps in life!"
Where her next step (college) will be is undecided but Hannah knows she wants to study elementary education. Congratulations and good luck! We are so #NPSproud of you! 🎓 💙
