Name: Catherine Jane Lewis

Home: Apache Junction, AZ

School: Pinnacle Online High School

Why did you decide to attend Pinnacle?

I wanted to try and finish high school early and go to college. When I attended my original high school, I was told that I was "too lazy" and to graduate early and they would not allow me to take my senior classes before my senior year. After that, I decided to leave my old school and take online courses at Pinnacle.

How has Pinnacle helped with your work schedule?

I work full time at a movie theater and being able to take online classes made it easier for me to do school work on my own time and work around my job schedule. Being able to devote more time at work allowed me to quickly get promoted to a team leader.

What was the best part about taking classes at Pinnacle?

The online classes worked well with my schedule. I learn better at night, so I worked on my classes before I went to bed. Since I did my classes in the evening, I was able to work during the day.

What's next after high school?

My goal right now is to take my general education classes at Central Arizona College. After that, I want to explore the fields of Marine Biology, World War II History, and creative writing.
