Senior Spotlight: Allison Oleman
Lowell School District is proud to feature Allison Oleman, who has spent twelve memorable years in the district. Throughout her time at Lowell, Allison has been highly involved in the musical community, participating actively in both choir and band.
Looking back at her journey, Allison shares that her favorite memory took place at the end of her sophomore year, a time when she spent every single day hanging out with her closest friends in the band room. High school also brought plenty of laughter, notably when a teacher tried to convince a whole class of high schoolers that gravity wasn’t real.
As graduation approaches, Allison reflects on the relationships that shaped her experience. She notes that she will miss her friends the most, specifically highlighting Mila, and expresses gratitude for the comforting daily routine of having a close friend right next to her to help get through the school day.
When asked about her academic inspirations, Allison emphasizes the impact of Ms. Miller. She explains that Ms. Miller has always been there to support her through school, noting that while the coursework may be difficult, it is intentionally designed to prepare students for the world. Allison also deeply appreciates that Ms. Miller provides a high level of guidance and support that perfectly matches the challenging work she assigns.
Based on her own experiences, Allison offers a valuable piece of advice for future students. She urges them to take college classes now, even if they do not want to. In her view, it is much easier to put the effort in during high school than to wait until you have to pay for those credits yourself.
The next chapter of Allison's life will take her to the University of Oregon, where she plans to study accounting. While she is still deciding whether she will pursue a bachelor's or a master's degree, her ultimate career goals are clear. She intends to work her way up the accounting world to establish a successful career, with the long-term goal of retiring early and comfortably.
Before she departs, Allison wants to send out a few special shout outs to the educators who made a difference in her life. She shares a heartfelt thank you to Ms. Miller for keeping her going with school until the very end, and extends another big thank you to Mr. Burch for providing so many fun and memorable times leading up to her graduation from choir.
