GMHS AdminSenior Spotlights 2026

I’ve been part of this department since my freshman year and have enjoyed every single moment. I’ve been in every class and program Mrs. Hazelrigg offers, from acting to camp counseling. I’ve been in 12 productions since my freshman year and have been involved in both acting and tech work. It’s truly been an amazing and life-changing experience. My favorite production has to be Little Shop of Horrors because of the opportunity to put on such a fun show, play my favorite character, Orin Screvello, and work with friends who love the show just as much as I do, is a new level of fun. But above all, getting to be Lighting designer for the entirety of Percy Jackson is honestly what made the drama experience something to remember. . .and Hazelrigg too I guess.

If I had to describe my drama experience at GHMS in just three words:

Family, Wonder, and Anarchy

A favorite memory of mine was staying late with my fellow crew chiefs to put the finishing touch on every show.

My plans after High School

Attending UNCG for (BFA) in Design and Technical Production.
