The BAM staff is celebrating 25 seniors from the Class of 2025! Starting May 1, we’ll highlight one randomly selected senior each day as we count down to graduation. The twenty-first senior is Maggie McCarthy.
What has been the highlight of your senior year?
The highlight of my senior year was getting accepted to my top school that I’ve wanted to go to since I was a kid.
What is your favorite memory of your time in high school?
My favorite memory from my time in high school was going on the Japan trip and getting to experience a whole new culture.
What are your future plans?
My future plans are to attend Miami University for my bachelor’s and then continuing to law school to become a practicing attorney.
What will you miss the most about high school?
The thing I will miss the most about high school is getting to see my friends every day and my favorite teachers.
What are you looking forward to after graduation?
I am looking forward to moving out of Granville and having new experiences. I also am excited to make new friends and discover myself as a young adult.
What was your favorite school lunch (alternatively, favorite thing you’ve brought)?
My favorite school lunch was always the cheese pizza and strawberries.
What Portrait of Graduate do you identify most with?
The portrait of a graduate competency I most identify with is empathy because I have learned that everyone wants to be seen, heard, and understood, and being there for others can make a huge difference.
What was your favorite class?
My favorite class was AP French because we learned about some really interesting topics and there was only four of us in the class including myself so we all got close by the end of the year.
What was your favorite class project?
My favorite class project was Mr. Powell’s World History final sophomore year because I was able to work with my best friend and we made a diorama.
What advice would you give underclassmen?
My biggest piece of advice I would give to underclassmen is to know your self worth and protect your peace. There will be many people who come and go in your life, and you never have to accept anything less than what you deserve. There is also nothing wrong with letting go of certain relationships to prioritize your own happiness. Life is too short to be people pleasing and you should pour into relationships that make you the best version of yourself.
