Why hello there, my name is Chris. I am currently a junior at University School of Milwaukee. I am involved in Student Council, I serve as a Student Ambassador, and I am one of three captains on the Wildcat hockey team. As you might notice, I am certainly into the wonderful game of hockey. It is one of the many reasons why I was intrigued to come to USM.

Before I came to University School, I went to school in Slinger my whole life. I had always been comfortable with the same crowd and I thought I would stay with them until I graduated. Then, during my freshman year, going through an easy curriculum and a rough hockey season, my parents and I decided to go on the lookout for some private schools out east. After a lot of searching and choosing, I decided I didn’t want to move out of my house. Then, my hockey team happened to play the Wildcats during my freshman year. Since USM is a great private school with a good hockey team, my parents and I decided to look into it. After some impressive research of University School and getting beat 8-1 in a hockey game, I was immediately intrigued to try to get into the school.
School Spirit!!!

After some test, applications, and shadowing I was up and on my way to this new environment at University School of Milwaukee. The kids were very welcoming and the school was alive and entertaining. Soon, I felt right at home and seemed to fit right in with all the other kids. Being a small school, it’s so easy to meet everyone and get to know people easily. It might sound cheesy, but coming to USM was one of the best decisions I’ve made so far in my life.

Me (far right) and the other hockey captains!
