Wauwatosa East High School class of 2025 | Jillian

May 6

Written By Abbie

I’m so excited to start sharing stories from this amazing group of high school seniors. Every session is different, every senior has their own vibe, and every story is worth telling.

Next up: someone who made her session especially awesome… sweet Jill from Wauwatosa East. She loves coffee (see: on location at her favorite local coffee shop) and while I took her for a quiet introvert, she really seemed to flourish while I was photographing her. It was a truly beautiful thing to see. And you get to see the final results!

This is Jill.

FAVORITE SUBJECT
My favorite class is art class as it’s a nice break and outlet. However it is truly just a hobby.

POST-GRAD PLANS
I’m applying to UW Madison, UW lacrosse, and University of Minnesota. I am interested in the science and English fields but don’t know what I want to study specifically.

ACTIVITIES + SPORTS
I’m involved with tennis mostly. I have dabbled in other clubs but participate in tennis most heavily.

FAVORITE TEACHER
My favorite teacher at East is Mr. Balcerak since he is very understanding and levels with his students. He seems to genuinely enjoy his job and care for his students.

SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENTS
I have received a honorable mention from scholastic for an art piece from digital imagery and received a five on an AP test.

FAVORITE MEMORY
Just hanging out with friends and my sister. Nothing specific comes to mind.

Probably the five on my AP test

ON A RANDOM SATURDAY I WOULD PROBABLY BE..
I’m probably getting coffee with my sister and playing some video games.

Something hands on and researching that I’m passionate about. Nothing specifically I want though.
