Whitney Dhamer

Anyone who knows senior Whitney Dhamer knows she never fails to cheer people up.

“She is so sweet. She always brought a smile to my face in our morning math class,” said senior Kiki Wood.

Dhamer isn’t only loved by her friends and peers, but also by the teachers who’ve been fortunate enough to have her in class.

“Every time Whitney walks in the classroom, she lights it up. She brings energy and passion to everything she does. I’m really going to miss her next year, but I am excited to see what her future brings,” English teacher Mr. Ray Del Fava said.

Whitney is committed to the things she does. Outside of the high school, you can find Dhamer dedicating her time rowing competitively for the Chicago Rowing Foundation. She drives to the city daily after school for practices and wakes up early on the weekends to race on the water, despite the cold Chicago weather.

Other hobbies and activities that she enjoys include yoga, working out, spending time with family and friends, and most importantly, making Mac N Cheese.

“Whitney is a QUEEN. She is the most hilarious, diligent, and charismatic person I know,” Lillie Michael said. ” She always knows how to have a good time no matter what the situation and her work ethic is like no other. I am so lucky to have her as a best friend.”
