Class of 2029 - Harvard
Hello! I'm Minnow, and I am currently a high school senior. I look forward to assisting you all! At my high school, I have founded an AP Tutoring Club so this program is my next step to provide educational assistance for all. As the Vice-President of DECA and the Founder of the Tri-County Summer Art Program, I wish to carry out similar missions through this program. I will also be doing all the illustrations on this website :)
A few other things about me are that I also did V. XC, V. Powerlifting, V. Track, and V. Tennis (I'll do my best to fill in some information about those). I was part of Beta Club, UILs, multiple fly-ins, Questbridge, and other CBOs. Although I'm not the best person for talking about all these subjects, I will fill in when possible.
What I'll be covering:
History APs, Art APs, ACT, UILs, College Stats, QB Information, Art Portfolios, Fly-Ins, Resume Building, Stats Examples, CBOs, Non-Profit Building, and editing the page.
I hope you all enjoy this site and its resources!

Hi guys! I'm Grace, and I'm currently a junior in high school. I'll be helping out the TEO team with some editing and revising, but also giving general feedback as a student. I'm an avid DECA member/officer and 2025 ICDC qualifier, NAHS officer, and dabble in graphic design for a couple of organizations.
Outside of school, I do a lot of art, volunteering, learning about dinosaurs and shells, buying overpriced drinks, and listening to music.
A little fun fact about me is that I have two dogs and two cats (subject to change).
Feel free to reach out about anything art, DECA, or school (AP) related!
