Keeping Up With… Jenna Calchi

2022-11-18T09:25:39-05:00May 17th, 2022|

High school is generally a time to study hard, discover new academic loves, find lifelong friends, and prepare one’s self to take the next step in their developmental journey.

The constraints of excelling academically, athletically, and socially tend to weigh heavy on them.
