What are you involved in at CA?
At CA, for 2025–26, I am the co-Head of JSO (Jewish Student Organization), a returning co-head of Pacrats (the technical theater club), and an avid member of the following clubs: Culinary Arts Club, The Scallion (satirical newspaper), and more. I have also been an orientation leader for the past two years and will be a head orientation leader next year. I am also deeply involved with the performing arts on campus, as I have held some role in each performance CA has put on since my freshman year, ranging from stage management to scanning tickets at the door. This past year, I served as the student production manager, specializing in the move-over to the Centennial Arts Center, our newest building on campus.
Why did you choose CA?
I chose CA because when I took my tour of CA, something became abundantly clear to me—that CA is not just a school. Yes, there are incredible classes, inspiring teachers, and more. However, as my tour guide explained to me, CA is also a tight-knit community with an engaged student body fueled by a love of learning. The entire town of Concord is accessible to you. I chose CA because of all of this; and I was pretty excited about the arts programming, too.
What is your favorite activity at CA and why?
It might be the head tour guide in me, but one of the things I really enjoy about CA is giving tours. It’s a chance to share the parts of the school that don’t always get noticed and to tell stories that aren’t in any brochure. I like showing people the little hidden corners and quirks of CA—the things that make it feel like more than just a building. Like the time I lost a cooking competition during club block with Culinary Arts Club because I didn’t realize that what I thought was sugar was actually salt. Those kinds of moments make the school feel real, and it’s cool to watch prospective students start to see themselves here, imagining what their own experience could be like.
Favorite class you’ve taken at CA and why?
My favorite CA class I have ever taken is 10th-Grade English with Sabrina (yes, we call our teachers by their first names!). In this class, which is one of the rare courses that is required for every 10th-grade student, we read poetry, the novels Citizen, The Great Gatsby, and more. Almost every day in class, we would arrive, say “hi,” and then spend the rest of the class period discussing what we had read. One of the reasons I loved this class so much is how much room there was for us to share our voices and ideas in class. The discussions we had were student-led, while simultaneously being guided by our teacher, Sabrina, pulling in examples and ideas for the conversation to revolve around. I was also able to implement the skills and knowledge into my life outside of school—from analyzing characters in shows I was performing in to better understanding myself through the pastiche project. All these reasons, and more, are why this was one of my favorite CA classes I’ve ever taken.
