Messmer High honor students recently attended a seminar at Marquette University. The Honors Seminar was two days of tours, lectures, networking, and growth. Messmer Seniors Rosaelena Fetes and Lillian Rodezno have been to the seminar many times. Lilly said, "[The Honors Seminar] sets you up for the upcoming challenges in college." Rosy said, "It gets you recognized. It shows that you took harder classes and still balanced [your grades] enough to keep at least a 3.2 average. It [also] helps with your future."
Both students said they loved the lecture presented by Messmer English Teacher Mr. Tim Gallagher, the tour [of Marquette], and the food. Mr. Gallagher wants the students to know the sole purpose of the seminar is to help them think about things differently, engage, and approach events from a higher level of thinking. This year the sophomore class has 35 students in the honors program, the largest number ever for Messmer. These students are setting the bar high for the rest of the school and setting themselves up for success.
