Norton High School

Here's something: Micalah cares more about learning than she does about grades.

Yup, you read that right.

Sure, she's smart, but she also works like crazy. Here's what her teachers said: "She will knock herself out for a 15-point project or a 150-point project. She takes pride in her work and wants to be the best. I introduced her to Shmoop when she was struggling with the novel 1984. Her goal wasn't just to get a good grade on the quizzes and papers, but to actually understand the book."

We could all learn a thing or two from this gal.
