Jaylee WitcherCampus Lab School Class of 2019
My experience at The Campus School is one I will never forget. Not only did I gain a remarkable
educa on that has allowed me to gain all honors in high school, I also met a second family of some of my closet and best friends. The teachers at the School allowed me to express my thoughts and opinions freely which helped me to become a public speaker. The camaraderie between students can be felt throughout the halls and the intellect of each person radiates in the classrooms. I am very proud to be able to call myself a Campus School Alum!
I plan to a end Oakland Catholic High School.
My future aspira ons are to either con nue in the science and mathema cs field to become an Aeronau cal Engineer at NASA or to become a Civil Rights A orney.
