Whitney Weiss profile
by Katie Tims

Whiney Weiss is a 17 year old rising senior at Holy Innocents' High School that was born and raised in Buckhead, Georgia. As she pulled her legs up so all 5 feet and 1 inch of her was on the chair, she laughed and said, "I'm a Buckhead baby. Born and raised."

"I go to Holy Innocents' school," said Weiss "but I am Jewish."

Weiss has an interesting situation as she attends an Episcopalian school, but is the only person in the school that is a practicing Jew. Weiss is proud of her heritage and shared that she took a genetics test and found out she is one hundred percent Jewish, with roots in Eastern Europe, Spain, and Portugal.

Weiss has one older brother named Daniel, 21, and she explained that they are very close. They pick at each other about everything, but Weiss expressed that it is always hard when her brother goes back to Indiana for college.

Weiss is a cheerleader, and has a strong bond with several of her teammates. Weiss loves her school and expresses a lot of pride for it.

When she isn't cheering or working on her schoolwork, Weiss creates jewelry with her best friend Emily. Emily suffers from Cystic Fibrosis, and all of their profits go straight to the Cystic Firbrosis.

Weiss has a calm presence about her, which is soothing for the people she spends her time around. She loves organization, and strives to do her best in school work.
