Student Profile

Josh Minshall

Josh Minshall
Graduation: 2013
Major: French

Some people think French is the language of snoots and snobs. Others assume it’s only good for impressing dates. To Holly senior Josh Minshall, the language of love is “100-percent awesome sauce.”

“I’ve been taking French since 10th grade,” he says. “A lot of my friends took Spanish because they thought French would be too hard, but I stuck with it. I feel like I have a real knack for the language, and I speak it every day.”
