What is your favorite high school memory? The friendships and bonds that were made in high school are still just as strong today. In high school, we would attend the Friday Night home football games, basketball games, and the baseball games, and now, 20+ years later, we all get to share the same experiences with our families.

What teacher made the biggest impact on your life and why? Carolyn Schofield was my Biology II teacher my senior year. She pushed us past what we thought were our limits and established what it meant to work hard. She always had a smile on her face and treated everyone with the utmost respect.

Advice to current Tyler ISD students? Establish and build a great foundation with your friends, classmates, and teachers. Not only will you benefit from great bonds while in high school, the people you encounter today will be the same people you encounter later in life. Get involved, and more importantly, have fun!
