What #BulldogSTRONG Means to Brianna: "What #BulldogSTRONG means to me is that we can't give up on what we want; we are strong and responsible for our actions. Be happy and kind to others. YOLO:)"
What Makes GVHS a Special Place for Brianna: "One of the teachers who has had the most influence on me is Mrs. McClure. She has been the realist teacher who has helped me both in and out of school. She has supported me in improving my academic performance as well as in shaping my life after high school. Mrs. McClure has been instrumental in helping me become the person I am today, and she has made me feel that I am a part of something important in life."
"Soccer has also had a significant impact on me. Despite the ups and downs of being part of a team, my soccer teammates always made me laugh with their craziness. One unforgettable moment was when we danced at the rally during my junior year. It was an exciting experience that I will never forget."
"Theater has also played a vital role in my life. It is a place where everyone can be themselves without fear of being judged. I have been a part of the theater community for all four years of high school, and each year has been full of excitement, hard work, and fun."
What Teachers and Staff Think of Brianna:
"Brianna is a natural leader, she has such a positive perspective on life and is determined to give 110% into anything she does. Anytime I need something done, I know I can immediately count on her. She is trustworthy and has that "big sister" role to our underclassmen on the girl's soccer team." Alexis Flores, Head Varsity Girls Soccer Coach, Golden Valley High School, Golden Valley High School
"Brianna is a born leader. She currently serves as President of the Bulldog Theatre Company, and has consistently demonstrated PRIDE through her leadership and hard work in Theatre since her freshman year. She demonstrates SERVICE each and every time she helps her fellow Drama Dawgs in the Bulldog Theatre Company and the students in the Theatre 1 class for which she is a TA. It has been an honor and a joy to watch her GROWTH as a student, as a Drama Dawg, as a skilled Theatre Technician, and as a young woman throughout her high school career. She is the epitome of #BulldogSTRONG." Sheila McClure, Theatre Arts Director, PLC Leader, Fine Arts Department International Thespian Society, Troupe, Golden Valley High School
