GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (GRPS) – Meet Jonathan Malone, a senior at Grand Rapids University Preparatory Academy (UPREP). After graduation he plans to study mechanical engineering at Western Michigan University.

“The staff here want you to succeed. UPREP did shape where I'm going to go,” Malone explained. “They've looked at my interest, which was engineering, and they found this dual enrollment program with Western Michigan University. They've also given me a scholarship opportunity.”

Throughout the school year, we'll be sharing #GRPSSeniorShowcase videos to celebrate our incredible seniors. Stay tuned for more inspiring stories from the Class of 2025!
