WHAT HAS HIGH SCHOOL BEEN LIKE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC?
“It definitely wasn’t what I expect my high school years to be like but I think our school did a good job of adapting and helping give us the perfect opportunity to be successful after high school.”
WHAT MEMORIES DO YOU TAKE AWAY WITH YOU AS YOU LEAVE HIGH SCHOOL?
“All the football games for sure, we played in a lot of good ones. Baseball is another one I take very seriously, the pep rallies, the Masses, I’m really going to miss it. I think the work ethic instilled in me from my freshman year until now has opened up a lot that I can do in sports and in life after high school.”
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS?
“Get all your stuff turned in and enjoy it because it flies by pretty fast.”
