Marie Pierre is a brilliant Senior here at Santaluces and continues to challenge and push herself on taking accelerated classes. Although she feels as if the pandemic has taken away her full high school experience, she still had a great time.

Yes, her experience was rocky at first, but she still had some memorable moments such as meeting her favorite teacher, Mrs. Harms, and being in her favorite class, the Early Childhood Academy Class. “The teachers and staff are really great and helpful on the campus of Santaluces High School,” says Marie.

Marie aspires to be a realtor. She plans to major in Business and Entrepreneurship and hopefully attend Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU). She has always been passionate about starting her own business.

Marie has the most outstanding peers to help her motivate herself and others. In her spare time, she is at her full-time job and hangs out with her friends.

One thing Marie would recommend to every student is, “don’t slack on your grades.”
