Hello welcome to our blog! My name is Lexie and I am a junior at University School of Milwaukee. I have attended USM since third grade. I am simultaneously excited and nervous for my junior year. I am excited because I am house captain for Ledger and it is my goal to promote Ledger House spirit; also, I am pumped to spend a year meeting new people (could be you!), taking classes that I am VERY excited for (i.e. Moral Philosophy and Social Justice), and playing field hockey everyday after school. Plus the back to school dance is next week and who can turn down the opportunity to dress up as famous family, watch football, and "dance the night away" (technically not all night, but I was really feeling like tossing in an allusion here.) 

I am elated that you are interested in University School. I love the opportunity that I have been given to study at such an academically challenging, yet rewarding, school. From the kind teachers who always have their doors open to the hard working students that surround you everyday, I know I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Enjoy our blog, and I highly recommend keeping USM an option as you narrow down your choices for high school. :)
