What made your experience at Lutheran Northwest special?
The teachers have definitely made my time at Northwest special. They have been great mentors and have encouraged me in all my studies. The Cross Country team and the Drama Troupe have all made my time at Northwest very enjoyable. They have both given me life-long friends and wonderful memories that I will always smile upon. My friends that I have met during my four years here have given me many laughs and good times that I will never forget.
What will you miss most about your time at Lutheran Northwest?
I will miss the teachers and seeing my close friends every day. I will also miss the spirit weeks and all the fun, crazy, time I had with my class during them and the dances.
Was there a teacher/staff member that had a positive impact on you?
A teacher that had a positive impact on me was Mrs. Baughman. From my freshman year to my senior year I have taken three classes with her: Freshman Biology, A.P. Biology and Anatomy and Physiology. She has helped me with classes and written multiple recommendations for me. She is a wonderful teacher and since I love science and biology she has helped me learn more about the topics and help me pursue a career in science and as a pediatrician.
