Jana Skowvron, Class of 2022

A graduate of Pittsburgh Obama Academy of International Studies IB

Public school in the city may have its challenges but because of my public school, I am able to be a part of many different activities. While we may be considered the underdogs in our sports leagues, there's something about being a part of something that is small yet mighty. Everything that we've done we worked very hard for and it's all of these experiences that provide a balance, a complement, that broad perspective that there is so much around us. While my activities may look vast, it is because public school helps me to be a part of them.
