Harper Moxey, CISD Graduate
"I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the guidance and support I received from Mr. Friske throughout my high school years. He played an instrumental role in helping me navigate challenging subjects, always approaching every lesson with patience and a genuine desire to see me succeed. In addition to assisting me with my courses, he also helped me craft my college essays. His insightful feedback and encouragement pushed me to explore my thoughts more deeply, leading to essays that genuinely reflected my voice and aspirations.
Beyond academics, Mr. Friske was a constant source of motivation and reassurance. He helped me identify areas for improvement, not just in my studies but in my overall approach to learning and problem-solving.

"Mr. Z was a huge help throughout my journey to medicine. From being a source of insight and advice when I was making the decision to pursue this path, to being someone who prepped me strongly for interviews, he was a great source of direction and support through it all. Whether it is for the MCAT, applications, or just an outside perspective, I would highly recommend him for anyone taking on the route to medical school!"

Luke L. & Family
U.S. Naval Academy
"We write to you with complete gratitude for partnering with us through the United States Service Academy process. It was clear from the first day that we met you that your professionalism, knowledge, and expertise would give us the best opportunity to cross the finish line and for Luke to be offered an appointment to one of these world-renowned academies. He has wanted to serve as an officer in the US military since elementary years, and coming into sophomore year when a clear timeline for preparedness became paramount, we were a bit overwhelmed.
Your assurance that patience, faith, and grit are the key ingredients to those final high school years kept us steady through a number of trials and challenges-challenges that we did not even see coming with a key AP teacher being dismissed half way through junior year and tension with a coach. You were the voice of calm as we navigated administrative hurdles to collecting the recommendation letters and obtaining the most competitive fitness test results. Most notably, our son felt shattered receiving news that his DoDMERB medical examination yielded a disqualification, and you took swift action, clearing your schedule to meet with us to plan next steps and assist in preparing a very comprehensive waiver request packet, delivered within the short timeframe required. While I have always been in awe of my son’s abilities and perseverance, I truly believe that walking this journey has prepared him for the strenuous years to come."
