Senior Spotlight: Aidan Manuse

After two years at Jesse, Aidan Manuse says that high school was more than academics—it was a place of discovery, creativity, and growth. Her favorite class? Humanities. “I loved how it combined literature and history,” she shares. “It helped me see stories and ideas in a bigger context.”

Two projects stood out as highlights: mock trial and worship dance. “I got to be the lawyer in mock trial,” she explains. “It was fun using critical thinking to design a case.” Worship dance, meanwhile, opened new doors spiritually. “It’s been a huge blessing. I’ve grown in my worship as a worship leader to diversify skills and learn about God in a new way.”

Looking ahead, Aidan has a practical and driven plan: start work at New York Life as a secretary, then steadily move up the ranks to become an agent. Her ultimate ambition is to one day open a restaurant that focuses on being Kosher and allergen friendly, and her dedication reflects both a thoughtful mind and a strong sense of purpose.
