The journalism staff each selected a student out of those nominated to the Outstanding Senior award. This award is given out through votes by the teachers, and who they thought deserved recognition for the great works they were doing inside and outside of school.

His favorite teacher was Mrs. Reid who worked at College Street Elementary. White said that Reid assisted him by guiding him towards being who he wanted to be as well as seeing the qualities he wished to possess. 

White spoke about his motivation to continue throughout school and mentioned how he was his own biggest motivation because he did not want to look back on missed opportunities. 

White plans to attend Lipscomb University and study film production. 

Being a peer of White’s you see the encouragement he leaves behind to others as well as the trust he brings forth by always being there when you need it most.

Altogether, White has shown time and time again the great achievements he possesses through clubs and through his actions. He definitely deserves to be amongst the outstanding seniors.
