Ellen Kangas '21 Recruiting Profile

      I am honest and have always gave 100% effort in all that I do and managed to always maintain a 4.0 GPA. My coaches have always told me that that I am very coachable and that I am a good team player who catches on quickly to what I am taught, I also play hard while showing great sportsmanship.  I have attended our church Awana program every Wednesday of the school year for the past 5 years and I am on track to graduate from the Awana program the same time as I will graduate high school.  I have also gone on local mission trips with our church youth group and also enjoyed some christian concerts with the youth group. I enjoy swimming and bike rides with my friends and try to do the best I can in everything I do.
