Each WCS senior’s journey tells a unique story of perseverance, discovery, and purpose. From classrooms and athletic fields to mission trips and chapel services, these students have grown not only in knowledge but in character and faith. As they prepare to step into new opportunities, we celebrate the experiences that have shaped who they are becoming.
Introducing Adriana Ali
Adriana Ali has been a Wildcat since third grade, and her time has shaped her into a determined and faith-driven leader. After graduation, she plans to attend San Diego State University to major in Business Administration, Information Systems. Her long-term goals are to attend law school at the University of Texas at Austin and build a career in business law.
Math has always been Adriana’s favorite subject, fueling her passion for business and analytical thinking. Mr. Robert’s made a significant impact on her life through his passion for teaching and his ability to make every student feel included while still challenging them academically. Adriana felt especially proud during her junior year when she overcame procrastination and recommitted herself to academic excellence.
Her faith has grown tremendously through the strong Christian community at WCS. A defining moment in her walk with Christ was attending Camp Cho-Yeh, where she saw peers and teachers openly praise God. She encourages younger students to never lose sight of God during difficult times and holds onto the quote, “It always seems impossible until it’s done,” as a reminder to persevere.
Through volleyball, soccer, band, cheer, and track, Adriana developed discipline, leadership, and responsibility. She describes her time at WCS as a true blessing and hopes to leave behind a legacy of strong leadership in academics, athletics, and faith.
As she prepares for college, Adriana is excited to experience independence and new opportunities while continuing to grow personally and professionally.
Meet Sarah Kraitman
Sarah Kraitman joined WCS during her freshman year and quickly became an active and engaged member of the Wildcat community. After graduation, she plans to attend college and major in criminology, pursuing her interest in the justice system and criminal behavior.
Government became Sarah’s favorite subject because it connects directly to her future goals. Learning how laws are created and how the justice system operates strengthened her desire to analyze cases and better understand how legal systems impact people’s lives.
Ms. Banks had the greatest impact on Sarah, offering guidance beyond academics by helping her stay organized, manage her time effectively, and grow in confidence.
Sarah is especially proud of earning all A’s, a reflection of her commitment and hard work. She shares that her faith has grown stronger during her time at WCS and encourages younger students to put their trust in God. Sarah participated in multiple sports at WCS, including basketball, volleyball, track, softball, and soccer, as well as student council and yearbook.
From memorable trips to Forrest Glen to fun moments with teammates, Sarah’s WCS experience was shaped by friendship and growth. She describes her time here in three words: “Is this due?”
As she prepares for this next chapter, Sarah looks forward to continuing her education and pursuing a career where she can make a meaningful difference.
Introducing Ryan Luu
Ryan Luu has been part of the WCS family since third grade. After graduation, Ryan plans to attend the University of Houston Honors College to study Business and continue pursuing his interests in economics and leadership.
One of Ryan’s favorite classes was AP Microeconomics, where he gained a deeper understanding of how economic systems function and how they impact everyday life. Mrs. Keese made a difference in his journey by consistently offering encouragement and support, helping him stay confident in his abilities. Ryan is especially proud of earning the AP Scholar Award, a milestone that reflected his dedication to academic excellence.
Ryan shares that his faith has grown as he has learned to trust God during difficult seasons. A meaningful experience for him was traveling to New Iberia to paint houses and serve others alongside his classmates. His favorite Scripture, Galatians 5:22-23, reminds him to live out the fruits of the Spirit daily. Through soccer and other activities, Ryan developed leadership skills and formed lasting friendships, including muddy away games.
Describing WCS as “warm, welcoming, and home,” Ryan hopes to encourage future students to work hard and aim high in their academic pursuits.
As he looks ahead to college, he is excited to meet new people and experience new opportunities, and he plans to return during lunch periods to stay connected with WCS underclassmen.
