Grace Perret '16-Valedictorian, Georgetown University '19
My government teacher, Ms. Thompson, mentored me, coached me, inspired me, challenged me, and taught me not only about government and law but about hard work and passion. She showed me what it means to be truly dedicated to something. I owe so much to her for teaching me that: for reminding me to work a little harder, push a little further, and imagine a little more even when I thought that I was done with something.
