REVEAL
OPENING
Exposure revealed what made our school different. On the outside, ours was
a school for the studious; only those divergent enough to like math more
than football would consider staying. But the inside revealed an ensemble of
creative, original, determined individuals who all had their own stories. Each
student had more to tell than his or her exterior would suggest. Drama kid
Cristina McBride, revealed she was more than a stereotypical thespian. “I like
to sketch. When I sketch I feel alive,” the freshman said. “It just fits perfectly
with my style. It’s a crazy, kooky side of me, so sketching just feels so right.”
Quiet Sierra Parks was most known for being an academic superstar, but the
senior revealed a rich background having lived in and journeyed throughout
South Korea, Germany, France, UK, Italy, Rome, Czech Republic, Austria,
Australia, China, Japan and the Philippines. “Korean classrooms are more
limited,” Parks said. “Students can’t do anything that the teacher doesn’t tell
them to do. But kids were mischievous. We would get milk delivered in the
morning, so when we finished the milk carton, we could squeeze it and part of
the milk would come out. So they would do that to each other and get the kind
of punishment that was hideous. Back then the teachers were still allowed to
hit kids and spank them, and we would have to do push-ups or write “I won’t
do this” a hundred times.” Most known for his friendly, optimistic attitude,
Stone Kershaw revealed his passion for the outdoors, spending his free time
scuba diving, hunting and camping with his Boy Scout troupe. “One night
a tornado came through the camp and tents were in trees,” the sophomore
said. “We had to be on our hands and knees under a pavilion, and we stayed
like this for hours. We woke up the morning after to the sound of chain saws
cutting down the trees. It was pretty bad.” We were much deeper than what
showed on the outside, and we sought to reveal what made our lives unique.

Between classes, Fallon Klenotich shares a secret
with fellow freshman Brandon Benitez. “We met
in second grade,” Klenotich said. As of November,
Klenotich and Benitez had been dating
for eight months.
