THE GIFT OF PRENTICE - ELISE ST. CLAIR - CLASS OF 1999

My daughter, Elise St.Clair, graduate of Prentice in 1999, and has been hired by Clear Channel, a large, nationwide radio and broadcasting company. She is head of the News Team for the afternoons for stations KSSK and KHVH in Hawaii. She researches and broadcasts (reads) the news to the islands twice an hour from 12-6 pm Monday through Friday. Soon her picture and biographical information will be posted on each station website.

A bit of history… After completing Prentice with many awards for her efforts, she went on to Foothill High School and graduated with a GPA of 3.7, OCC and graduated with honors and U of Hawaii, Manoa, also graduating with honors. While at UH, she worked in the Leisure Center teaching sailing and swimming and leading hikes and excursions around the island of Oahu. She was recognized as for best campus employee for her first year there. She was also on the sailing team and won awards for her participation. She hosted 2 radio shows, both during drive-time, one in the morning and one in the afternoon on weekdays on KTUH, the campus radio station and one of the most powerful stations on the island, used for national disaster broadcasts. After graduation in June, 2009 with a BA in Art and a minor in Music, she managed to land a job with a commercial station. She is now a DJ for private parties and local clubs and commercial establishments. She is known for her love of Indi Rock music. KTUH is requesting that she return for a morning slot now that she has her commercial station time determined. I am happy to report that she has made it in her field having launched her career with Clear Channel!

Her skills were taught and developed here at Prentice. When she arrived in the 5th grade, she COULD NOT READ. Her struggle to learn and find a friend base and some self-esteem was rewarded here. Mrs. Bullard and Mrs. Lerner and others not here now are directly responsible for teaching her to excel. She used the skills learned here to make a life for herself. Her success is a direct reflection on this school and the capabilities she found she had. She learned how to learn and that anything was possible here. Her love of art was enriched and enhanced here and she went on to design the cover of the Yearbook for Foothill High School her senior year, posters and tee shirts and flyers for KTUH and commercial stationary, business cards and wedding invitations.

Thanks you all.
