Whitney Marks
I started off at Cushman in the 9th grade and have been here ever since. I didn’t know anyone at first, however, I quickly bonded with my teachers and have many friends. I am very authentic and I try to always look for the best in other people. Throughout my Cushman journey, I have become a champion of mental health advocacy. Decorating the hallway and the library for Spirit Week and the Peru trip in freshman year Band Club I’d like to be remembered here at Cushman for being true to my authentic self.

Remembered As
“Whitney Marks is the glue that keeps her senior class together. She has a lethal combination of a cunning wit, clear convictions, a strong sense of justice, and Hello Kitty. Who couldn’t love that?”
