Student Profile:
► Katy Thompson
► The Galloway
School
Katy Thompson clear
ly has a passion for the
ater and dance.
She took part in her
first play when she was in
the seventh grade. She’s
played parts in The Gal
loway Schools’ spring
musicals since eighth
grade, she said, and had
a role in “basically ev
ery school production at
Galloway” in recent years. Last year, she
had the lead female role of “Anna” in the
school’s production of “The King and I.”
“Acting, for me, is a chance to be
something I’m not and put on differ
ent clothes. It is hard, but so rewarding
to get a character right,” Katy said. “I’m
not nervous, because I’m telling my sto
ry to the audience as a different person.”
Theater class also is where she feels at
home. “It is where my best friends are,”
she said, “and I learned a lot of stuff that
I would never learn in a math class.”
She shares a similar passion for danc
ing. She’s in a dance ensemble and takes
part in fall, winter and spring shows.
“I started dancing to stay in shape,
and it puts me in a place of content
ment,” Katy said. “Everything disap
pears and I feel in flow with the people
around me. I’m not worried about mess
ing up.”
She also takes great pride in her time
as a student at The Galloway School.
She says Galloway’s “no-cut” policy al
lowed her to try new things and find ar
eas in which she could feel comfortable.
The policy is designed to encourage stu
dents to take chances on new programs,
no matter how little experience they
have in a particular area.
“I’ve been really lucky to be at Gal
loway for my whole life, and I love my
school,” Katy said. “The no-cut pol
icy that our school enforces gave me
the confidence to try out and be able to
learn to act well.”
Her theater and dance experiences
paid off. Robert Zapotocky, director of
college counseling at Galloway, calls Kay
“a self-confident young woman.”
“She has a strong sense of justice
and is unafraid to speak out when she
sees something that is not right,” Zap
otocky said. “This foundation of cour
age enables Katy to take risks, to speak
out articulately, to perform in front of
large audiences, and to greet profession
al adults with a smile and a firm hand
shake. She is a leader by example and an
exemplar of Galloway,” he said.
She graduated this year and now
heads to college in Pennsylvania.
“I went up there during a snowstorm
and fell in love with the school,” Katy
said. “I’m going there as an undergrad
political science major and I will prob
ably minor in economics or business. I
think campaign finance is really cool.”
that's Next:
Katy plans to attend Bucknell Uni
versity in the fall.
