Pierre Liang

While the first things you may notice about Pierre are his slightly squinted eyes or long bangs, his unique sense of humor never fails to stir a wave of infectious laughter across the room. Born and raised in Shenzhen, China, Pierre came to Webb as a fluent French speaker, talented musician, and brilliant mathematician. Rather than priding himself on his accomplishments, however, he utilized his skills to better the Webb community in various ways, from leading the WSC junior varsity tennis team to teaching Mr. Caldwell to play the piano. Pierre’s fervent poetry discussions with Mr. Hansen were a hallmark of Humanities office hours, and his rich, confident blows on the French horn will echo Liu Cheung for years to come. Despite Pierre’s heartfelt advice towards his freshman self to attend classes on time, his senior year still harbored quite a few instances of waking up to Ms. Jeantete’s knock in the morning. And although Mr. Dahler still has not forgiven him for missing his Linear Algebra class homework, Pierre’s love for math and computer science will lead him to delve deeper into these subjects at Wake Forest University. As he heads off to college, Pierre will miss the late night study sessions accompanied by the song, “烟花易冷,” and playing League of Legends with his truly incomparable group of close friends. But who knows, Pierre jokes, at least colleges don’t have check-ins and lights out
