Julianna Campas –

College: Chapman University

Major: Strategic Corporate Communication

Grade level: Junior

My favorite thing about attending Novato High school was having the opportunity to connect and create relationships with classmates, teachers, coaches, and administration. I loved being around classmates with all kinds of different talents and passions through MSA, various athletics teams, or academic clubs. I am grateful to have had such an awesome experience at Novato that has helped me to reach my goal of playing basketball collegiately and furthering my education at Chapman.

One thing I really enjoyed about Novato High was the people I was surrounded by each day. My friends made me realize how special my time was there and gave me the memories I will hold onto forever, in a place I can always call my home at Novato High 🙂
