And now, please join us in celebrating the next graduating senior in the BDC Class of 2026. Let’s hear it for Morgan!
Morgan recently graduated from Otsego High School while also completing her Early Childhood Education program through Penta Career Center. Morgan says that her time at Penta was incredibly rewarding, allowing her to earn her Infant CDA (Child Development Associate) credential, complete work placement, and spend her senior year gaining valuable hands-on experience working at a daycare.
Morgan’s dance journey began in 2011, and she joined The Beat in 2022 as a high school freshman. Dance quickly became one of the most important parts of her life. Morgan says that some of her favorite memories at The Beat are the friendships she built, the laughter shared in every class, and the supportive environment that allowed her to work hard while still having fun. She adds: “The sense of community at The Beat is something I will always cherish. I will especially miss Ms. Jillian, who has been one of the most inspiring, supportive, and unforgettable teachers I’ve ever had. About 11 years ago, I suffered an ankle injury that significantly impacted my athletic abilities. A year and a half ago, I finally had surgery to correct it, though it still causes pain during physical activities. Despite these challenges, dance has always been my outlet—a place where I could regain control, push through limitations, and take pride in what I do. Dance has given me confidence, strength, and a true sense of self.”
When asked to offer advice to our younger students, Morgan says: “Always embrace who you are. Be unique, be funny, be weird, and never be afraid to stand out, because those are often the qualities people appreciate most.”
Morgan adds: “I am so grateful to all of the staff at The Beat for creating such a welcoming and encouraging environment for every dancer. A very special thank you to Ms. Jillian for being not only an incredible dance teacher but also one of the best mentors I’ve had throughout my journey.”
Morgan will attend Ohio University this fall where she plans to pursue a degree in Pre-Early Childhood and Elementary Education. She says she’s excited to continue following her passion for education and she look forward to making a positive impact on the lives of future students.
