Senior Spotlight on Evan Splichal
January 23rd, 2012
During the four years Evan Splichal has attended Westminster Christian Academy he has experienced a great deal of success and made many wonderful memories.
Evan has received a great deal of academic achievements, including being recognized on Westminster’s Honor Roll and National Honor Society from 2009 – present, and participating in Beta Club since 2010. With AP Biology and AP Latin already under his belt, he is currently taking AP Calculus, AP Literature and AP Chemistry.
Westminster is not the only institution to recognize Evan’s talent. He participated in the Duke TIP Program which is a nationally recognized academic talent search program and it provides participants with an exciting, stimulating and challenging opportunity to augment their capabilities.
Evan has also experienced success outside of academics. Last year Evan was a member of Westminster’s Mock Trial team that received eight awards during the school’s first appearance at the annual Georgia Mock Trial Competition. Evan also received an individual award of Best Witness during the Regional Mock Trial Championship.
A member of Westminster’s Basketball team since 2009 and involved with Debate, Evan has definitely remained active during his time at Westminster, but it doesn’t stop there. Since June 2011, Evan has served as an Assistant Leader for Athens Y Camp in Tallulah Falls, Ga.
With all Evan has to offer, it is not a surprise that he can choose which school he wants to attend. Having received early admission to the University of Georgia, Evan is considering the local school, but also has his eye on Washington and Lee University which is pursuing him, as well as Sewanee: The University of the South which is his parents’ alma mater.
We know he is incredibly talented and that wherever he decides to attend, we are confident he will excel, just as he has at Westminster, but what are some fun facts about Evan? Here are a few of his favorite things:
