Chelsea Hoopes poses in a grassy, scenic area to capture the perfect senior picture. Hoopes was involved in Brave Cadettes all four years of high school and was honored to be given the position of co-captain her senior year. Hoopes noted, "My favorite memory from high school would be going with the dance team to perform at the Boise field my junior year.

FAIRYTALE: While visiting Europe over spring break with the school group, senior Chelsea Hoopes stops to take a picture of the Mont St. Michel Castle in Normandy, France. Hoopes loved visiting France during the trip, and it was a very cool experience for her.
