Quote: "Elyria Catholic has meant a lot more to me than just a high school ever since I transferred from Midview. My freshman year, I came to EC after experiencing the devastating loss of my father. I needed to be surrounded by familiar people who would help lift me up, and my classmates and teachers did just that. I have grown so much throughout my time here at EC and am so thankful for all of the people I've met and obstacles I've overcome. Most importantly, I wouldn't be who I am today without both of my parents, so I would just like to say thank you and to use this as a reminder to hug your loved ones extra tight!" Future Plans: Melody will attend Otterbein University with a major in equine business and management and a minor in photography.
