Congratulations to the third annual PTC scholarship recipient, Isabella Ferrera!
"SELS greatly prepared me for my academic career and life beyond. SELS was never just a school that challenged me academically, but one that also forced me to look at education and learning in a creative sense beyond just the repetition of facts,“ said Isabella. "My plans for after graduation are to attend Brown University in Rhode Island."

Hello my name is Gary Grosjean, Jr., and in 2014 I was in the first 8th grade class to graduate from SELS. I have recently committed to playing baseball at San Francisco State University to resume my baseball career and study Kinesiology. I was playing at Mendocino College until the season was canceled. One accomplishment I have had recently is I was in the top 36 pitchers in Northern California to participate in the sophomore showcase, which was a great experience. I plan on using my degree to coach at the college level when my playing career ends. I am extremely thankful for SELS as I learned so many character traits from collaborating with classmates for the two years I attended SELS. I have been able to stay in shape by working out at home and using household items in my workouts while, most importantly, staying safe.

This past ski season I lived in Mammoth, Ca., and trained with the Elite Freeski Team. Currently, I am competing at a NorAm level and hope to continue onto a World Cup Circuit. I am finishing up my high school education at Forest Charter School where I am able to have a flexible independent study schedule. I am excited to share that I made a decision to attend Westminster College in SLC, Utah next fall majoring in Environmental Studies. My plan is to continue slopestyle skiing competitively and enjoying the mountains. Proudly, I received a scholarship from Mountain Area Preservation for my dedication to the environment. My time at SELS helped me to develop a strong sense of character and commitment to service work. I intend to continue to show responsibility by making the world a better place in college and beyond.

Hi everyone! I’m super excited to (hopefully) attend UC Santa Barbara in the fall! Up until then, I’ll be spending my time outdoors hiking, going to the beach, and hanging out with my family!

I’m excited to be part of Link Crew next year, and I am also running for ASB. To keep busy I’ve been practicing lacrosse and going outside as much as I can.
|
|
I’m going to Claremont McKenna College to play football and study in the 3 + 2 Economics and Engineering program.

I’m finishing up my sophomore year at Truckee High. During this time, I’ve been keeping busy by going to the lake, hiking, and watching Netflix (when I’m not busy studying). I miss all of my friends and teachers, track, and fun school events, but I am looking forward to my junior year and excited to be a Link Crew Leader!

I graduated from SELS in 2016 and currently finishing my senior year at Bishop Manogue Catholic High School. This fall I will attend Baylor University in Waco, Texas. I was accepted into the nursing program and looking forward to exploring all of my options in the medical field. I am excited that my high school has rescheduled an in-person graduation on July 10 to give me the opportunity to walk across the stage and celebrate with my class. For the first time in my life I actually miss being at school in a classroom! Google Meets has been a great option, but it is definitely not the same. I continue to attend each of my classes every day from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., but not being there in person makes school uneventful, and the fact that "senioritis" has been kicked into high gear adds to my excitement to move on. I would like to give you a piece of advice: keep up good grades, study for your ACT or SAT, and be active in as many extra-curricular activities and sports as possible. All of this will come into play - not only to open the door to each of the colleges you are dreaming of, but they will play a huge role in the scholarships you will be awarded. Having unlimited choices and not worrying about how to pay for your dream college is priceless. Don’t drive yourself crazy - still have fun, but keep up on it and you won’t regret it.

Next year I will be attending San Diego State University. I’m undeclared right now, but I plan on major/minoring in economics, business, or psychology! I have been working out, making cards (birthday, holiday, etc.), and learning to sew during quarantine!
