Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “It is not length of life, but depth of life,” and Bishop Gorman High School senior Paige Pensivy is living that philosophy every day. Her passion, dedication and strong work ethic have her on track for an Honors Diploma. And with over 300 hours of community service and her own nonprofit dance program for kids called Ribbons & Rainbows, she’s sharing her selflessness and compassion with others in the community and cherishing every moment of it. She believes in the importance of positivity, the simple power of a smile and always striving to see the best in people. For all that and more, Paige Pensivy is – A Step Above.

Goals & Aspirations: “I want to attend college and ultimately get my doctorate. I would also like to become a psychologist and open my own practice or become a professor/counselor at the college level. I think it would be a dream come true to star in a musical, movie or TV series.”
Paige is Successful Because: “I am successful because of the guidance and the amazing opportunities my parents have given me. I think I continue to be successful because I am able to accept defeat or situations that may not be what I had planned and grow from them. I am extremely dedicated and willing to go the extra mile in everything I do.”
Improving Student Life: “I would want to see more funds given to theatre instead of cutting the programs. I feel that theatre is so influential to so many people. There are many students that may not have the best grades or even like school and theatre is a way for them to learn and grow.”
