C.J. Starke, senior, describes how her positive experience at Homestead was a result of her immersion in sports and clubs that
provided her the opportunity to build strong connections and learn the value of hard work. Starke shared how becoming a member of the
varsity volleyball team at Homestead was extremely beneficial despite the program’s struggle.

As Starke reflected on the accomplishments, both personal and as a team, she recalled the most rewarding part. She said, “Volleyball helped me to make connections and ease into high school as well. The most rewarding experience came from our hard work to win our first tournament and know the program was heading in the right direction because of that.”
