Why did you choose College Prep? I chose College Prep because I wanted to challenge myself academically. I had heard from many people, including my older brother who went to CPS, that College Prep was an academically rigorous school where I would be challenged more than I was in middle school. I also chose College Prep because my brother had a great experience in the CPS community and met some great friends, and I wanted to go to a school with a great community.

What has been your favorite class so far (and why)? My favorite thing about College Prep is the teachers/staff. It is very clear to the students that our teachers really do genuinely love and are passionate about their jobs and know so much about what they teach. The teachers are also so open to meeting with their students outside of class to answer any questions.

What is your favorite character from a movie/book/television series? My favorite character is Carmen Sandiego from the Netflix series.
