Shining as a beacon of commitment, Ball High School junior Erin Clore was honored with the 麻豆色情片 Spring 2024 Outstanding Dual Credit Student Award for her academic excellence and dedicated community service.
鈥淚鈥檓 proud of how hard I鈥檝e worked this year and I want to keep working hard and keep getting good grades,鈥� said Clore, a Galveston native. 鈥淚 plan on graduating next year with my associate degree.鈥�
The 17-year-old junior believes in hard work, determination and teamwork, all valuable life lessons she learned from playing volleyball, a sport she鈥檚 been participating in since she was nine.
Clore is also active within the Galveston Island community through volunteerism. She has served at beach clean-ups, city-wide food drives, farmer鈥檚 markets and triathlons.
In addition, she has served as a Sunday School Leader to middle schoolers at Coastal Community Church, is also a member of the church鈥檚 Youth Group and Youth Leadership Academy, and was recently appointed to be Parliamentarian for the National Honor Society at BHS.
Clore鈥檚 drive and determination in the community are equally reflected in her academic career through GC鈥檚 Dual Credit program, and she says she has enjoyed her experience.
鈥淚 hold myself to high academic standards and I鈥檓 aiming to graduate at the top of my class, and I鈥檓 on track to graduate with my associate degree from 麻豆色情片鈥� said Clore. 鈥淚 love dual credit. I feel that the classes are so much more my pace and it鈥檚 really good to be with that group of people. I really love it, and I love all my teachers.鈥�
Clore says the experience in GC鈥檚 Dual Credit program will help her in the future when she goes to a four-year university.
鈥淚 think I will have a lot more knowledge of what college classes entail,鈥� said Clore. 鈥淚 won鈥檛 be going into it completely blind. I鈥檒l know what to expect.鈥�
The high school junior also likes that GC is close to home and BHS.
鈥淚t鈥檚 definitely super convenient,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 can come here and study or do whatever I need to do, whenever. It鈥檚 10 minutes from home and two seconds from the school (BHS).鈥�
After Clore achieves her goal of graduating with a high school diploma from BHS and an associate degree from GC, she plans to attend Baylor University and pursue a bachelor鈥檚 degree in Communication Sciences and Speech Disorders, followed by a master鈥檚 degree to become a speech pathologist.
鈥淲e鈥檙e proud of how hard Erin has worked to get where she is now and we believe it鈥檚 important to give recognition where it鈥檚 due,鈥� said GC Student Success Advisor for Dual Credit, Alisha McCracken. 鈥淪he is a wonderful asset to have in the community and one that her peers can look up to. I look forward to seeing her achievements throughout her senior year and watching her walk across the stage in the spring of 2025 to receive her associate degree.鈥�
