Michelle Harris
Michelle, the resident artist, can usually be spotted in the hallway with a happy expression and a large sketchbook.

Mental health is extremely important to Michelle, and she wants to be a pediatric psychologist when she gets older. She said, “in our society today, it is very difficult to know that other people are going through what you’re going through.”
Allie Kantor
Allie is a member of Varsity golf, co-founder of the chemistry club, and Vice President of Mu Alpha Theta. However, most people are aware of her involvement in golf. Not only has she landed a scholarship to the University of Virginia, but she has also been recognized with the very prestigious Jerry Cole Sportsmanship Award. Her favorite memory at BT is the golf state championship, where she feels that she really bonded with her team. She spoke about how much overcoming her issues with scoliosis really affected what she wanted to do with her life. Today, Allie hopes to become a Pediatric Orthopedist specializing in scoliosis.
Ron Miller
Ron is the President of both Mu Alpha Theta and the Chess Club. He is also a Varsity Cross Country runner and plays piano for Tri-M, the music honor society. Ron’s favorite memory of BT is during AP Chemistry when he would sometimes store a box of Life cereal or pita chips in the classroom to snack on during intense chemistry study time. For his future, Ron wants to attend MIT and be a part of their Naval ROTC program. “I really want to serve my country for a few years,” he said, as he discussed his future. He hopes to major in computer science.
Megan Swade
Megan has a passion for sports. She is involved in Blessed Trinity’s student government, the St. Vincent de Paul Society, and Varsity Volleyball.

Payton Thompson
Payton is involved in Varsity Cheer and Lacrosse, as well as the Spirit Squad. Her favorite memory is winning the football state championship. Payton has a strong passion for history. She says “I have always been interested in history. My mom has always brought me to it. It’s one of the things I’m the best at.” In fact, Payton hopes to become a historian one day. Her love of history is at heart and very closely related to how important family is to her. One day, maybe Payton will be in the history books herself!
Gabby Yates
Gabby is a stellar student at Blessed Trinity. Her impressive resumé includes the class vice president, student ambassador, varsity cheerleading co-captain, Xavier house leader, and editor of the yearbook. Her favorite memory at BT is when she went to Savannah for a football game with the cheerleading team. Her passion carries through in all aspects of her life. “My grandpa is a huge part of my life. I’m really close to my family,” she said when discussing her family. When asked about her future, Yates responded “I’m not entirely sure yet. Part of me is really interested in film.” No matter what she does, her friendly personality and ability to talk to anyone will guarantee her a bright future.
