When Alex was a student at THS she wasn’t sure what she wanted to do for a career. Tallmadge High School provides many different classes you can take to help discover your passion. Finding and knowing your passion is most important when it comes to choosing your career. Take full advantage of taking different classes in art, anatomy, workshops, speech. She recommends taking 3 years of Foreign Language and taking AP courses to potentially test out and/or receive college credit(s).
While at THS, Alex participated in cheerleading and track. She also was a member of Pep Club, Annual Staff, and Principal’s Focus Group.
