North East ISD offers students so many opportunities to find their passions. Whether it be dance, engineering, cooking, or theatre, there is something for everyone.
Gabriella Griffith graduated from Churchill High School in 2015 and found her passion on the stage, or rather, above it.
She recently took a moment to thank the District for the amazing opportunities she was given and update us on her path since leaving Churchill after graduation.
“My love for theatre started a long time ago, but my love for Technical Theatre started my freshman year of Churchill High School thanks to Mr. Wade Young. The second semester of my freshman year, I joined the tech theatre class where I was the spotlight operator for Hello Dolly. From there, I was hooked; I spent three more years in technical theatre as a spotlight operator and as a main stage and black box lighting designer. I then went off and got a BA in theatre and dance with an emphasis in lighting design from The University of Texas at Austin. I had a few internships during college and then landed at Electronic Theatre Controls, a very large lighting, and lighting control systems manufacturer, where I enjoy testing software for the Hog 4 line of lighting control consoles. I also freelance theatre on the side.”
Gabriella found her path and passion #theNEISDway.
Congratulations on all your success.
