Senior Spotlight
Isabela Cruz
This week’s Senior Spotlight shines on Isabela Cruz! A lifelong student in the Storey County School District, Isabela currently maintains a 3.2 GPA and has been a dedicated athlete throughout all four years of high school. She’s played softball for three years, volleyball for two, and cheered during football season in her junior year. Outside of school, Isabela enjoys spending time with friends—especially on Dutch Bros and Taco Bell runs. She also loves traveling and listening to music. One of her favorite memories at Virginia City High School is being crowned on the Homecoming court not once, but twice during both her freshman and junior years. After graduation, Isabela plans to pursue a career in dentistry and eventually become a dentist. Later in life, she dreams of becoming a stay-at-home mom.
