Student of the Week Sophia Tufaro

Senior at Sandia High School

Nusenda Credit Union, in partnership with the APS Education Foundation, highlights an APS student each week.

What Sophia says about her school experience: My school experience has changed a lot over time, I would say for most of it I was a very shy person that would stay in the background. Until I found the right group of people, teachers, and interests and I realized that I wanted a voice in my school. This year I am Student Body President and it's probably one of the best things to ever happen to me. I love thinking of ideas and events to change our school for the better.

Favorite subject: My favorite subject is History because I love hearing stories about those who lived before us and what they went through.

Plans for the future: My plans for the future are going to college and studying Graphic Design. My Computer Graphics teacher had a big impact on me and I've known this is what I’ve wanted to do since freshman year.
