Thea Kirkpatrick

Thea Kirkpatrick is optimistic, hardworking, and humble even though “everyone knows she is the smartest anyway”, according to her friends. She served as a day student prefect during her junior year and a member of the honor cabinet as a senior. Thea also demonstrated her leadership on the varsity tennis team since freshman year. Additionally, she has held the team together as team captain for the past two seasons. Along with tennis, she has formed close bonds in the classroom with her peers and with many teachers. Ms. Duron said, “Thea is the type of person that when you meet them, you instantly know that they are destined for great things.” Thea will continue to do great things at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she plans on studying Mechanical Engineering. Her interest sprouted from her desire to invent things as a child, and it has been fostered through the robotics team, theatre tech, and Civil Air Patrol.
