“Making friends in high school has shaped me the most, and I’ve grown so much as a person because of that. I had a friend group of four people in middle school, but then in high school, I decided to start the Fusion Academy. At first was very stressful, but I met a lot of people that I wouldn’t have talked to otherwise, learned great social skills, and became a more outgoing person because of that. Meeting new people from Fusion is what I will remember most from my high school experience.” — Carter Epley, class of 2025
