Deep Creek High -

🎓 Senior Spotlight 🎓 💜🐝🤍 ARAV PATEL is Deep Creek High School’s 2025 Salutatorian. He will attend Virginia Tech to study Industrial and Systems Engineering. ------------------------------------ If you could give a shout out to a member of the faculty or staff at a Chesapeake Public School, who would it be and what would you say? Mrs. Sosunova deserves a huge thank you from me. She might be retired now and enjoying life to the fullest, but her AP Calculus class is still one of my favorites. Class always felt welcoming and never too serious because of her lilting Russian accent and the way she included small "jokes" into her lessons. Every day felt worth showing up for because of her. She’ll always be one of the people who made these years feel like more than just school. ------------------------------------ Who else had the biggest impact on your experience in high school, and what would you like them to know? Without a doubt, my parents had the biggest impact on my high school years. As an only child, I didn’t have older siblings to bank on, so every step I took, they were right beside me: sometimes leading, sometimes quietly holding me up when I didn’t even know I needed it. They are truly the epitome for me. If they see this, I just want them to know that every good thing I am becoming started with them. #Classof2025! 🎓 #CPSCelebrates
