But we’re going to introduce you to a senior who just might make the list.
Inside the Philadelphia High School For Creative & Performing Arts, also known as CAPA, angelic voices could be heard throughout the school’s atrium. Once inside, we heard the perfect sound of the song, “Total Praise.” Amongst the group singing is senior Skyy Brooks. Like many of her classmates, she’s looking forward to graduation.
“I’m ready to go,” Brooks said. “Four years is like the perfect amount of time. I’m ready for the next chapter.”“She is classically trained,” said her proud mother, Taiyanna Brooks. “In the last year she’s been training with Dr. John Austin in contemporary jazz.”Staying the course, Brooks auditioned for CAPA as a vocal major as an eighth grader and has been singing her heart out ever since. But her grades are just as important if not more.“Right now, it’s 4.37,” Brooks said about her GPA.
