Meet Kendall McMillan

Recently, we had the opportunity to chat with Kendall McMillan who is a rising senior at Grimsley High School. Kendall is one of those students who does it all. She is in student council, a varsity cheerleader, runs track, participates in service learning opportunities, and more, all while excelling in honors courses. Kendall has attended public schools in Guilford County since Kindergarten. 

After Kindergarten, it quickly became apparent that Kendall needed a more challenging curriculum. In first grade, she transitioned to the Spanish immersion program at Jones Elementary. In spite of starting a year late, within her first year there, she earned an award for outstanding pronunciation. Kendall has remained in the Spanish immersion program all through elementary, middle, and high school. She loves speaking Spanish and plans to minor in it in college. She will pursue a career where she can use Spanish to help people who might not be in the position to help themselves- possibly immigration law or social work. 

Recently, Kendall learned that she has been accepted into the highly-competitive Governor’s School of North Carolina. It is the nation’s oldest statewide summer residential program for gifted high school students. The classes integrate academic content with the arts and other creative learning experiences. Kendall’s area of concentration is Spanish. She will spend four weeks immersed in the language. Congratulations to Kendall McMillan. Hers is a name you will want to remember.

So proud that Kendall continued the Spanish Immersion program! As a former principal at the elementary immersion school she attended I can vouch that many of our alumni have excelled tremendously in their endeavors! Best of all they are altruistic in all they do. Finally, her village and the family that supports this outstanding young woman, they are simply the best. More likely than not they are Kendall’s inspiration and Kendall is theirs! Look out world, Kendall is coming! Congratulations!
