Looking Deeper: 

The Red Ledger: What extracurriculars are in you, and how long have you participated in them? 

Ella Reaugh: I am in AP 2D Design, NHS, Class Council and NCL.

TRL: How long have you been in NHS? 

ER: I have been in the NHS since March of sophomore year and was elected as vice president over the summer. 

TRL:  What made you want to step up and become president?

ER: I wanted to provide members with the ability to engage in organizations they are interested in and have a passion for. By doing this, students would want to join to serve others in their community, and not view it as a burden they have to complete for their college application. 

TRL: How long have you been an artist? 

ER: I have loved art since I was very young, but I would say that it wasn’t until freshman year with Mr. McCasland that I found a passion for it. 

TRL: What drawing/painting are you most proud of? 

ER: The drawing I am most proud of is my most recent piece in my sustained investigation. It is a tiny drawing in a ballpoint pen of a tree tied down with rope and rock forced to grow sideways.  

TRL: Do you hope to continue on with either of these activities into college? 

ER: I hope to pursue art in college by either minoring in studio art or design. This has definitely affected my choice in school because I am now looking into how successful each school’s art program is.

TRL: If you could give people one motto to live by, what would it be? 

ER: Live authentically.
