“Transferring into a new district to start one of the most important times of my life in a pandemic wasn’t the easiest situation, but high school has taught me the value of friendship. I have been blessed to meet and be surrounded by people who have shown me the true meaning behind friendship. I am grateful to have these friends who will always be in my corner rooting for my success which has changed the way I see high school and has made me realize that I am never alone. Without the friendships I’ve made along the way, high school would be a completely different experience.” Junior, Aubrey Hays.
