We are almost to the end of the 2025-26 school year and our spotlights of the ACGC Class of 2026!
Today’s Featured Falcon is Jaida Wendinger!
Who was an ACGC teacher who made an impact on you and how?
“When I think back on teachers that made an impact on me it's hard to think of just one so I’ll list out my main ones!
Mucciacciaro, she impacted me by helping me with the transition from elementary to middle school and eventually preparing me for high school. She gave me the desire to do my best!
Mr. Singsank was an amazing history teacher who brought out my desire to truly think about the lessons and warnings of the past while forging a path forward.
Mrs. Johnson, we didn't have too many personal connections but the way she carries herself in the classroom being stern and empathic is something I'll always strive to be.
Mrs. Hein taught me that it is ok to ask for help, which is a lesson I struggle with sometimes, but I get better every year!
Finally, Fitzgerald because she saw my artistic abilities and has always supported and encouraged me on my journey. I thank her for being one of the reasons I keep going with art.”
What is your favorite memory from high school?
“My favorite memory is after our theater performances me and a group of theater kids would make a circle and sing California Girls at the top of our lungs. It was a spectacle, but we all had fun.”
What advice would you give to younger Falcons?
“Talent is the ability to pursue an interest. Nobody is good at something at first, don't let it bring you down.”
What are your plans for after graduation?
I'm planning to go to college at Minneapolis College of Art and Design.
