“Hi-Q has taught me how to be a leader and how to collaborate as a team, using everyone’s strengths.”

“We have so many different people with different learning styles. So, we’ve found a way to balance individual interests with the [Hi-Q] team objective.”

“We work together as a team for one common goal; that is, academic excellence. But it’s not what we do individually that’s important. It’s what we do together that counts. I am so grateful to be a part of that [Hi-Q] team and I’m not sure my high school experience would be the same if I was not a part of it.”

“The biggest takeaway from Hi-Q is a love for learning and to continue to learn as much as I can and to try to understand how that affects the world around me.”

“I’ve taken so many great experiences out of Hi-Q like the ability to challenge myself and to think on the spot quickly in an environment I’m not used to.”

“Hi-Q has helped me develop a solid work ethic that will benefit me in the long run.”

“The most satisfaction in my career is to be able to give something back to the world.”

“I love to scatter seeds in my class and just wait in anticipation for a little sprout to come up with a novel approach or a curious challenge.”

“Teaching is a very noble profession and I know every day I am giving back not only to my community, but also to the world at large.”
