Senior Spotlight

Each week we will be featuring a new set of senior choir members.


Alexandre Acosta

Alexandre Anthony Acosta is the son of Delphine Breen and Ronald Acosta, stepson of Dusten Breen and Christina Acosta. His siblings are Liam, Charles and Isabelle Acosta, and Claire Breen. 6 years in choir, Alex has been in Fishers Electrum, the all Europe Honor Choir 2023-24, and CG Singers and Surround Sound. His favorite choir memory is when he got to visit Germany and train a whole week for the all Europe honor choir performances. Though he says he wishes the food was better. He also is in a garage band with his friends Bastian Maiquez, Hans Lockhart and William Killian. Alex plans on going to college for music and theater. He wishes to thank his close and extended family, his friends who are still in his life, and God.


Annabelle Kemerling

Hi! My name is Annabelle Jennings Kemerling, and I am a senior in Surround Sound. I have been a part of Center Grove’s choral program for 3 years. My parents are Erik and Kristin Kemerling, and I have 3 siblings: Lauren, Quinn and Levi. Along with choir, I am a part of the Track and Cross Country program at our school, President of Tri-M Music Honor Society, Secretary of the Student Athletic Leadership team, member of National Honor Society, and CGTV editor in Publications. I have been taking private piano lessons for around 11 years, and I plan to continue using this skill in my future through worship music. I first would like to thank God for all the blessings he has given me, and for showing me that everything all happens for a reason according to his plan. Next, I would like to thank Mr. Norman, Mrs. Dice, and Mr. Sanders for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the program, and helping me improve in both singing and piano. Finally, I want to thank my parents for always being my number one supporters in everything I do, and I wouldn’t be the person I am today without them.


Casey Kuzel

Hi I’m Lindsey Kuzel, known as Casey to friends, daughter of Michelle and Steve Kuzel and sister of Mackenzie Kuzel. I am in Surround Sound and although it is my first year in choir at Center Grove, I participated in choir in elementary school. I am also the Thespian Publicity Officer for Center Grove’s Theatre Department. After high school, I plan to go to college to pursue Secondary English Education and later become a teacher. I want to thank my parents for always encouraging me to be myself, my sister who will always be my best friend, and my theatre family for always making me laugh and making everyday so much brighter.
