Class of 2016
Connections Homeschool
Jayce Miller [Connections Homeschool]

Jayce Miller was a valedictorian for Connections’ Class of 2016. His academic achievements, including a 4.069 GPA, graduating with 32.5 credits, and scoring a 35 on his ACT, only begin to describe Jayce’s successes. In addition to his academic accomplishments, Jayce has a passion for music. His passion and piano playing skills have led to his to providing accompaniment for community, church, and school choir practices and performances. He regularly accompanied the Homer High School choir, and performed as a soloist. He earned a “Superior” ranking at the State of Alaska School Activity Association’s competition for piano. Jayce enjoys tinkering with his collection of nearly 40 old computers. He and his friends like to take apart and fix the computers, create networks, and generally play with the devices. As an example of his diverse interests, Jayce names Les Miserable, Jane Eyre, and Pride and Prejudice as books he enjoyed reading.

Jayce is an enthusiastic, talented young man. In his Valedictorian address, Jayce offered a few tidbits of advice for his fellow graduates:

1. Don’t beat yourself up about mistakes
2. Stop dreaming and start doing
3. Don’t let other people determine your definition of success

It is clear that Jayce follows his own advice. Next year, Jayce will pursue his dreams at the California Institute of Technology. Jayce is a fine example of what students can accomplish.
