Henry Parsons plans to enter the military after graduation. While his major is currently undecided, he is interested in a future career as an electrician.
Henry enjoys spending time fishing and being around his friends, who he says he will remember most after graduation. His friendships have been a meaningful part of his high school experience.
Henry says he most admires his Uncle Brandon, who has had a strong influence on his life. He will fondly remember Mrs. Forde always getting after him for not doing his homework.
A quote that resonates with Henry is “The best way out is through,” a reminder to face challenges head-on and keep moving forward.
If Henry had a theme song that played every time he walked into a room, it would be “Nesty to You” by Ole 60.

Jasmine describes herself as respectful, which is evident through her interactions with others both in and out of the classroom. She says she will likely be remembered for laughing all the time, bringing positivity and energy to those around her.

Jasmine says she most admires her mom, who works hard to provide everything her family needs and serves as a strong role model.
