I've had the privilege of observing Carter here at Souderton, He demonstrates excellent positive leadership skills in class, exerts considerable effort into his education, and he should be commended for it. Nice Job Carter!

Administrative Leadership Team
Souderton High School

Carter has shown me he is capable of thinking in unique and bold ways other students would never be able to match. I can say without hesitation, this is a very special and rare student. I am lucky enough to see very high-level students every semester, but Carter separates himself with his high levels of energy and perseverance. He has known film would be his calling from a very young age and his attitude towards getting better has only gotten better.
