Hello, my name is Pierce, and I am a New York high school senior with a strong academic focus, particularly in mathematics and quantitative reasoning. Beyond the classroom, I am actively involved in track and field which has taught me discipline, resilience, and goal-setting. I am deeply committed to giving back through STEM-focused volunteering and mentorship. I have experience tutoring peers in mathematics, including participating in structured tutoring programs, where I enjoy breaking down complex concepts and helping students build confidence in their abilities. Supporting others’ academic growth has been one of the most rewarding parts of my high school experience. I chose Schoolhouse because of its emphasis on holistic learning, collaboration, and academic excellence. I am excited to connect with motivated, like-minded students and contribute meaningfully to a community that values both intellectual growth and service.
