NOah Shorey '26 expresses his love for robotics

​Noah Shorey ‘26, a computer science and robotics fanatic, brings new excitement to North Cross School. 
He has been a boy scout since he was 2 years old, but has not been able to progress with it due to being busy at school. 
Shorey came from Roanoke Catholic, where he swam for two years and played soccer for a year. He and his mom made the switch to North Cross because they noticed that NCS has a more stable administration and faculty. 
When asked whether he likes NCS, he said, “So far yes, there is a good amount of friendly people and it is a small school like my last one.” He thinks there is a lot more freedom at the school. Additionally, he says the facilities are more modern. He describes the people as “really friendly.”
In school his two favorite athletes are football and track athlete Jase Rhodes ‘26 and runner Spencer Britton ‘27. His peer, Taahir Imam ‘27, described him as someone who is “good at computer science.” 
He enjoys gaming, as he especially enjoys Valorant and Roblox. He is on the school’s Robotics team and participates in a recreational team called FRC, or the First Robotics Competition. He has excelled in it even though he has only been taking part in it for a couple months. One of his main interests is working with software and hardware and wants to pursue a career in computer science.
