Name: Mackenzie Galster

KUSD schools attended: LakeView K-8 Academy (formerly KTEC) and Bradford High School

Plans after graduation: Plan to attend the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater for a BFA with a performance emphasis. I also plan to get my real estate or travel agency license while continuing to perform on stage.

Favorite KUSD teacher: Mrs. Kamikawa, my orchestra teacher, because her class is always a positive environment, and she encourages everyone to persevere and do their personal best.

Extracurricular activities: Orchestra, Theater, Vice President of Service National Honor Society, Battle of the Books, Varsity Girls’ Swim, International Thespian Society, WSMA Solo and Ensemble, National Society of High School Scholars, Vocal Lessons, Lifeguarding, Blood Donation, and Yearbook

Best KUSD memory: My favorite high school memory was traveling to Edinburgh, Scotland, the summer before my senior year. I attended the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and performed in KUSD’s production of The Metamorphosis.
