For Shannon Engel, school has always been synonymous with the stage.
The Fremont High School senior can remember having a passion for performing arts ever since she was a third-grade student at Milliken Park Elementary. Her first exposure to the high schoolâs annual musical came that year when she auditioned for a childrenâs role in the departmentâs rendition of âState Fair.â
âI knew from a young age that music was something that I wanted to be a part of,â she said.
Engel earned the role and got her first taste of the annual musical that year. Just three years later, she would get another opportunity to become involved in the musical.
