Among so many positive experiences and lessons from my days at WCS, I feel that the most powerful life lessons learned were to set high expectations for oneself and the realization that high achievement can only come from striving for sustained excellence.

We were encouraged at Collegiate to explore many different learning opportunities within a supportive environment where it was safe to take risks and engage in activities and experiences outside of our comfort zones. There was a spirit of jump in and try it!

Collegiate’s rigorous academics pushed me to develop a strong work ethic and an endless curiosity to never stop learning. Balancing the demands of the classroom with a host of activities on and off the athletic field provided a well-rounded foundation, which continues to serve me well to this day.

The idea of earning respect and deserving success was ingrained in us at Collegiate. We knew that we had to prove ourselves to the faculty and to each other while we were at WCS. Probe Te Dignum! For me, that was a great motivator to keep up and thrive.
