Burns, a senior, has been involved in the school’s theater program and Art Club since her freshman year. She has also participated in the concert band and liturgical choir. It’s important to Burns to create and collaborate with her peers to put on a good show, and her talents speak for themselves.

Burns participated on the bowling and scholar bowl teams. She is also a member of Model UN and French Club. It takes a lot of hard work to balance all of these extracurriculars with her schoolwork, but she does so gracefully.
