I chose Ohio Hi-Point because...

Both my brothers attended OHP, and loved it, so I knew I would love it too. When I heard they had welding and fabrication, I applied within the first 10 minutes application went live.

At Ohio Hi-Point, I'm involved in the following activities...

Student influences, United Way Student Delegate, SkillsUSA, and welding and fabrication representative.

My favorite part about Ohio Hi-Point is... 

The teachers. They know you're actually passionate about what you do, so they want you to succeed in your lab. If you need more time to spend in lab, most times they'll let you. Overall, the majority of teachers really want to see you accomplish your goals in your field.

My most memorable moment at Ohio Hi-Point was...

The first week of school junior year, Mr. Barger telling us as many stories as he could fit in the class period.

What surprised me most about Ohio Hi-Point was...

My advice to students who may be looking to apply to Ohio Hi-Point is...

Do it. You'll make dozens of friends, and spend half your day doing activities on topics you're passionate about.

After graduation I am...
