Lauren started high school and dove right in, she found her happy place with the Drama Club. Thank you Ms. Hance for encouraging her. Shout out to Mr. Romano for being so supportive with her academics. My favorite memory in high school was Lauren’s talent show performance her Freshman year when she sang 'Let It Go.'
