picture of Caitlyn BurksWhat was your most memorable experience as a student at Del Norte High School?

My most memorable experience at Del Norte would be participating in all the fun and available activities. I played sports and joined NHS and FNHS and made some my best memories and friends there. It was truly my most memorable experience.

What do you intend to study at your college or university, and what do you want to do after you graduate from college?

I am not completely set on a degree for my future, but a few things I have in mind include criminal justice and forensic sciences. After college, I plan to find a set career with a family and home.

As a new “AlumKnight,” what advice would you give you to students and staff at DNHS?

Advice I would give to students would be to stay involved and social while keeping your grades a high priority. You should always have fun in high school but remember that grades are important because they will benefit you greatly in the end. My advice for staff would be to never forget we are teenagers still learning our way and make a lot of mistakes. Help them find their way and stay on track.
