Meet Lyric Eschoe, a Class of 2019 graduate. Lyric will be a freshman at Spelman College this fall, studying Documentary Filmmaking. We chatted with Lyric about growing up in Westview and her plans for the future.

"My favorite part of growing up in Westview would have to be the energy of how welcoming everyone is. There are so many neighbors I’ve met and gotten to connect with through various meetings and my mom’s shop. It’s been a great experience."

"What drew me to Spelman was the sisterhood that I hear so much about. Growing up here, I always heard amazing things about the Spelman girls and everything they had accomplished. There was always high praise about them...everyone seemed so supportive of them and they seemed supportive of each other and I wanted to be apart of that. I think what it means to be apart of an inclusive school community is to be apart of a community that is welcoming and safe. It’s a place where you don’t have to act a certain way because you are able to just simply be you."

Congratulations, Lyric! Your community is proud!
