Summary
Multiple seniors — including Alison Salenz Ramirez, Marvin Vente, Sarah Watson, James Watson, Henry Yip, Gavin Rays and Ava Smith — described how district programs, athletics and arts shaped their plans to attend colleges such as Rutgers, Syracuse, Vanderbilt and Wesleyan.
Several graduating seniors spoke during the presentation to describe their experiences and next steps. Alison Salenz Ramirez, who came from Colombia, credited the school's bilingual supports and said she served as a bilingual coordinator. Sarah Watson (University of Wisconsin–Madison) and James Watson (Syracuse University) described involvement in AP classes, student government and the Future Teachers Club respectively. Henry Yip, admitted to Vanderbilt's Blair School of Music, praised the district’s music programs and band director Mr. Gallagher for fostering participation.
Gavin Rays, heading to the University of Richmond, reflected on athletic leadership and state tournament experience, and Ava Smith, accepted to Wesleyan University to play lacrosse, emphasized extracurriculars and community support. "Morristown High School not just taught me math and history. It taught me how to work and care for my community," Alison Salenz Ramirez said.
