The Art of Balancing School and Passion

Step into the vibrant world of student leadership with NorthStar Academy’s own Isabelle Phillips and Hallie Griffin, whose remarkable stories promise to inspire and educate. Join us as Isabelle, the Student Council content creator, and Hallie, the ad coordinator, share their unique experiences from an international online school setting. They offer a window into how they balance an array of responsibilities—from student council duties to personal passions like Isabelle’s emerging cookie business—while forming meaningful connections with peers across diverse cultures. This episode is packed with valuable insights into how these experiences have shaped their understanding of the world and honed their leadership skills.

Hallie Griffin

I live with my 8 younger siblings and my parents, and currently am in my junior year of high school at NorthStar Academy! I enjoy doing digital art, singing, and hanging out with my friends!

Isabelle Phillips

I am a high school TCK taking dual enrollment courses. I have three younger brothers and we all serve in Niger, West Africa. I love all things related to music, art and books. I love baking and have a small cookie business called Izzy’s Cookie Jar. When I graduate from college, I would love to become a high school English teacher.
