Henry Leonard Rhodes is AR’s Student of the Month for November! Henry is the son of Ruth Rhodes and Lathrop Leonard. In his free time, Henry enjoys 3D modeling, listening to audiobooks, and cooking. To date, Henry has earned 16 college credits and is on pace to complete 37 by the end of the spring semester. After graduating from Academy of the Redwoods, Henry plans to attend a four-year university, hopefully, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo or a University of California campus, to pursue a major in mechanical engineering. Henry hopes to work as an engineer in the future and is keeping doors open for himself as he is not certain of the context in which he would like to work in the future. Of his time at Academy of the Redwoods, Henry says, “AR has been a great opportunity for me to make connections with people I never would have been able to otherwise.”
