🎓Class of 2026 Spotlight Elizabeth Rushford🎓
Music Major Elizabeth gives great advice to upcoming classmates: "Extracurriculars were my whole life in high school. I had violin lessons, clarinet lessons, piano lessons, orchestra, band, choir, I teach lessons, and compete in Figure skating. ⛸️🎶 Some days I questioned why I am doing so much, and even though it was exhausting, I wouldn’t have taken a single thing away. Each commitment taught me how to work hard, stay motivated, manage my time, and excel in different areas of my life. I’m proud of everything I was able to accomplish, and I’m so grateful for the opportunities I was given.
Congratulations, Elizabeth, and good luck on your future endeavors!

🎭Our Theatre Managers are more than organizers—they are professional technicians who train, mentor, and guide students in the many moving parts of a production. From assisting the technical theater teachers in teaching backstage procedures and safety protocols to helping crews master technical skills, they play a vital role in developing the next generation of theater professionals.
Their dedication ensures every performance runs smoothly and provides valuable career and college preparation for everyone involved.
The curtain may rise on the performers, but our Theatre Managers and Backstage Crew are the reason the magic happens. 👏🎬🎭
