🌟 BIG STAGE BOUND! 🌟
Huge congratulations to John Glenn High School senior Riley Merso! Out of 100 top performers who auditioned from across Michigan, Riley was selected as one of only 42 students who will perform live alongside Broadway legend Sutton Foster! 🎭✨
Riley’s achievement is the result of years of dedication to her craft—she has been dancing at Shining Star Dance Academy since she was just 3 years old, and she’s been lighting up the stage in numerous John Glenn High School musicals since she was in elementary school.
Now, she’s taking her talents to the big stage alongside a Tony Award-winning Broadway star (The Music Man, Anything Goes, Sweeney Todd) and TV icon (Younger, Gilmore Girls).
📍 Wharton Center – Great Hall (East Lansing, MI)
🗓️ Saturday, October 3, 2026
⏰ 7:30 PM
We could not be prouder of Riley’s exceptional talent, hard work, and passion. Drop a ❤️ below to congratulate her on this monumental accomplishment! 👇🎉

📸 District Photography Procedures📸
As we begin a new school year, we want to notify our community of our updated photography procedures for external photographers covering district games, practices and events.
External photographers who wish to photograph from designated media areas - such as sidelines, courtside or stage areas - must complete the District Photography Approval Form and receive a district media pass. The pass must be worn at all times while photographing. Approved photographers can show their approval confirmation email and pick up their media pass at the ticket booth/check-in area.
As a reminder, this does not apply to families taking photos from bleachers, chairs or audience areas.
This process helps us prioritize student safety, privacy and a positive experience for everyone at our events. We thank you in advance for helping share this information with community partners!
