Wilson High School senior Shaniya Spriggs can’t wait to start at Spelman College next year. After visiting the campus for Spel-Bound this spring, she was hooked on the campus, the opportunities the school offers students, the alumni network, and how empowered she felt surrounded by so many other women. She plans to major in biology to ultimately become a doctor someday, and she’s leaning toward a specialty that would let her work with kids. In addition to her AP courses, Shaniya has also taken sign language and sports medicine at Wilson, a fitting choice given that she was on the Cheer Team for three years and was the manager for the Boys Basketball Team. She has appreciated the diversity of the student body at Wilson, but is excited (and nervous) for college. “It’s a step to growing up!” #DCPSGoesToCollege
