This week's alumni spotlight is Kurt Hauswirth '04. What was your best memory from school? My best memory from school was learning to sing out during a theatre audition. It was a big turning point in discovering what I was capable of and was the start of my passion for music. What was your favorite class/activity? My favorite class was choir with Mrs. Rathwell. She was always inspiring, would always take time to learn more about her students, and had us singing some great music together. What advice do you have for students? Make each day as helpful for others as you can. Understand that not everyone can bring 100% of themselves everyday (including ourselves); we need each other. What did you do right out of high school, and what do you do now? I worked a summer at a Burger King right after graduating, then went to NMU to study Music Education in the fall. Now, I work full time as a public radio host, programmer, and producer at Public Radio 90 in Marquette (NMU’s public radio station!)

This week's alumni spotlight is Aimee Brown '92. What was your best memory from school? My greatest memories from high school are pep assemblies, dances, and basketball games. What was your favorite class/activity? Music.... In all forms. Chorus, chorale, concert band, jazz band & pep band. I was blessed with amazing music educators and it stays with me to this day. What advice do you have for students? Learn how to do something with your hands. Learn a skilled trade - even if it isn't your ultimate profession. There are many chapters to your life; knowing a specialized skill may help you through many of them. What did you do right out of high school, and what do you do now? My first job right out of high school was a cashier at Kmart in the Soo. Currently, I am Certified Master Kitchen and Bath Designer (CMKBD), one of only four in the state of Michigan. I design high-end kitchens and luxury bath spaces that people dream of. I truly love what I do!

Today's Alumni Spotlight is Leah (Pierce) Mills '03 Best Memory: Favorite Class/Activity: I’m a giant nerd and my favorite memories from school include things like the bird watching trip with my fellow nerds in Mrs. Ewing’s class, a yearbook camp with my classmate and co-head editor, and soup opera in Mr. Fountains class. However, my favorite memory was being a 6th grade camp counselor and the survival game that year! Advice to Students: Big advice is that everything is temporary. If you love school and your classmates, soak it up and enjoy your time. If you hate school, this is temporary, you’ll find your place and your people in time. Be patient with yourself. Grades are important but don’t ONLY do school work. Make time for friends and your family, for reading, or for yourself. Finish homework on Saturday and relax on Sunday. What are you doing now: Right out of high school, I went to college and made it one semester at the University of Michigan before transferring to Grand Valley. I worked my way through college as a waitress and graduated with my ticket to grad school, a BS in behavioral science. I didn’t go to grad school and ended up working as support staff in special education. I went back to college in 2020 (prereqs in 2018). In Dec. 2021, I graduated again from GVSU with a bachelor’s in nursing. I work as a bedside RN now.
