U-High journalist Patrick Deneen enjoys capturing the action and covering the latest activities that occur around school. As a senior, Deneen is an independent student that can work well under pressure and gives his best work. He has a trait of excellence and wants people to know that he will get a job done. Although he is very passionate about tennis, he still is highly involved in other extracurricular activities such as piano, Philosophy Club, and hopes to start Students for Democratic Society. A great critical and strategical thinker, grades and school work come easy. “I believe in relying on your own skills and motivation to get things done,” Deneen said.
