Corinne Woodson ’14 knew early on that she wanted to become a veterinarian, and she actually tributes Indian Creek School (ICS) for instilling in her a passion for the veterinary sciences. In fact, it was Ms. Lara Tukarski’s science class that had the most impact on her, giving Corinne her earliest love for the life sciences, biological systems, and animals. “I used to help [Ms. Tukarski] take care of the chinchillas in her classroom in middle school, and I was part of her "Double-helix" Club for biology lovers. My biology classes and labs in both middle and upper school played a major role in [my] making this career choice. ICS also gave me a great level of discipline in regards to my studies, which comes in handy with all of the material I am getting in vet school.”
Instrumental Music teacher Paula Sweterlitsch describes her role as “guiding students while their inspiration leads the way.” However, there is so much more to the magic she creates with her students.

Ms. Sweterlitsch loves teaching at ICS because the arts are inherent in the fabric of the community.
