Senior Katie Crouch is a fine art phenomenon. She has taken dance at Ballet North for a total of five years now. She’s been in band since sixth grade. She is also hoping to make symphonic band this year with trumpet.

“I love my camera.” Senior Katie Crouch said. Photography is her favorite of her fine art talents. Her mom owns a wedding business where Crouch helps take the many beautiful pictures. Crouch also has taken senior pictures for friends.

Crouch took the vacation of a lifetime this summer where she used her camera day in and day out! She went on a seven-day cruise and saw the amazing countries of Belize, Rotan and many other fascinating countries. Crouch’s favorite part of the experience was seeing the different cultures in every country she traveled. “In other states the people are a lot like you [but in other countries it’s different,]” Crouch said. There were days that they got off the boat and went into the center of the towns to shop, eat, and sight see the new places they had traveled. She said they also got to get off the boat in certain places to snorkel. She said her favorite place she saw was the Mayan ruins in Cozumel.

Crouch wishes to go to Europe one day as well. She is now in French V and would love the chance to go to France, especially Paris, and practice her French among the native Parisians.
