Lauren’s parents explain that, “Lauren is self-motivated, diligent, very organized, committed to her responsibilities, and unafraid of hard work. She loves God, her friends, and her family. She gives 100% to every commitment in her life.” This is evident when examining Lauren’s achievements and accomplishments as a student at MPCS.

Lauren credits Mr. Fitzpatrick, Mrs. Coleman, and Mrs. Troutman as teachers who have left a lasting impact on her because of the passion they possess about their respective subjects and how sincerely they genuinely want their students to be successful. Her favorite MPCS memory is the England trip during the summer before her senior year. There is no doubt that Lauren will go extremely far and accomplish much in her future.
