There’s a lot of seniors at John Adams High School this year, and the class of 2025 has made a significant impact on the JAHS community already. But who are these seniors? Well, I’m going to tell you about one specific senior who is amazing! This senior is… drumroll please… Lilly Brewer!

On Aug. 9, 2006, Lillian Marie Brewer was born. She spent her first few years at home before enrolling in Saint Joseph Grade School. Lilly was there for nine years before she entered high school at the one and only JAHS. From that day forward, she has seemed to experience high school life to the fullest. Lilly joined the John Adams Choir her freshman year and really enjoyed her time there. But, in her sophomore year, she wanted to further her singing abilities and improve her dancing skills. So she auditioned for the Show Choir and made it! She has been a crucial part of the John Adams Show Choir ever since. From having ISSMA (Indiana State School Music Association) ensembles named after her, to becoming a soprano section leader, Lilly has made a lasting impact on the Show Choir. Lilly was also a member of the drama club during her freshman year only. Her roles were Irene in the play, My Man Godfrey, and Leeane in Puffs. She then went on to perform in the musical, The Little Mermaid Jr., as Flounder. Lilly was also the director of the musical production of Anastasia in her junior year.

Another extracurricular activity that Lilly participates in is tennis. She has been on the team for three years and will definitely make it again come spring. She has moved her way up the ladder to varsity and is predicted to sit at No. 1 Singles this upcoming season. When asked about her tennis team experience, she stated: “It [the team] is overall a really great and welcoming community that I’m so lucky to be a part of.” Lilly has also worked as a tennis coach for the past three summers at the PAL (Police Athletic League) tennis camp. Lilly has also been a member of the ski club since last year.

In addition to these extracurriculars, Lilly is a full I.B. student and is part of NHS (National Honor Society). Due to these commitments, she has rigorous coursework to maintain her good grades and likability for colleges. Lilly doesn’t quite know what she wants to pursue in college. But she knows that she wants to help people! We know that Lilly Brewer will go on to great things and finish her high school career with a lasting impression on John Adams!

Isabella Catanzarite is a 17-year-old junior at John Adams High School and is looking forward to her first year working with The Tower. Isabella, commonly known as Izzy to her peers, is an active member of the student body and never fails to make an impression on new students. Always willing to lend a helping hand in and out of school, she has been told that she is very energetic, welcoming, and easy to talk to. Although Isabella only has two years left of high school, she has some plans for the future and is ready to start acting on them now. She has rock-solid beliefs that she wishes to advocate for; but is unsure if this could be compatible with a future career. Regardless, she is excited to finish off high school with a lasting impression and start working towards her dream life. Isabella tries very hard to be a “reader,” but struggles with reading more than one book over the course of two months. So, it would be untrue if she categorized herself as an avid reader. She is thinking about possibly pursuing a career in journalism and believes that this will help her to begin that journey. One of the most important factors in Isabella's life is tennis. She loves the sport and is also thinking about possibly pursuing a career in it. Isabella made the John Adams women's team both her freshman and sophomore year and has moved her way up the ladder to varsity. In addition to playing for the school team, she is a manager for the boys tennis team. Another extracurricular that Isabella is a prominent member of is show choir. This year, she is president of the show choir and she is very proud of her title. Finally, Isabella is someone who will always step up to the plate. No matter the difficulties, she will pull through and eat, leaving no crumbs. Isabella is a very hopeful person and believes that things will get better, even if she can’t make a decision to save her life. She often looks at the world through rose-colored glasses and tries to find the beauty in everything. Isabella is beyond excited to be joining The Tower and is really looking forward to growing her writing skills.
