Quote from teacher: Mrs. Jackie Kane, Science Department chair and STEM Club adviser, reflects, “Claire’s love for disciplined learning is exhibited in a wide range of interests, including independent study in AP Latin V, ballet performances, advanced placement courses across the curriculum and work in the STEM Club competitions. Her pursuit of knowledge is surpassed only by her service to others and ability to lead with, as always, her wonderfully welcoming smile.”
