Ashley Burke
Senior Soccer
Almost immediately after entering the halls of Trenton High School, senior soccer player Ashley Burke was able to make her mark on Trojans athletics. She made the varsity soccer team during her freshman season and has grown into a leader both on and off of the field. With a 3.7 grade-point average as she nears the end of her time at Trenton, Burke has been able to stand out with her contributions to the community as well. As a member of the National Honor Society and the Interact Club, Burke has made a habit of helping others and she hopes to continue that as she proceeds to the next level of her educational career. She plans to attend Michigan State University in the fall and will be going into its pre-med or pre-veterinary program, as she has her sights set on following a career path that would allow her to continue helping others and having an impact on society as a whole. “My mom is a nurse and I just think I’d like something with that level of responsibility and that I can know I’ve made a great impact on someone’s life,” Burke said. Her parents, Dan and Kathy, have played a vital role in her academic and athletic pursuits to this point and are looking forward to seeing all that she can accomplish as a Spartan. — Brian Rzeppa
