About the Contributors
Harper Clark, Student Life Editor
Harper Clark is a senior at Pleasant Valley High School. She participates in many different activities outside of school. That being said, Harper still sets aside time to be an avid member of the learning community here at Pleasant Valley, and is a part of the National Honors Society. Outside of school Harper enjoys spending time with family and friends. She also loves to spend time with her pit bull rescue, Mister. Harper has dedicated a large portion of her life to dance and hopes to double major in dance and psychology in college. This summer, she had the opportunity to participate in a three week dance intensive at Boston Conservatory at the Berklee College of Music. Her dance background comes from Belle Academy where she not only participates in classes, but also teaches a few of her own! This dance experience has earned Harper the opportunity to choreograph the musical at the junior high this year. Harper has always participated in theater and is an active member of the drama club. She has great leadership skills that will help her to direct the high school’s one act this year. After last year, Harper can’t wait to explore scholastic journalism as well as other scholastic endeavors.
