Arkansas High School 2024 Senior Perspective

Reflecting on my past four years at Arkansas High School, I realize how much the students and faculty have shaped my life. Attending a big 5A rivalry school like ours was always exciting, especially with the town's anticipation for the Arkansas vs. Texas games.

Maud High School 2024 Senior Perspective

I am not a die-hard country music fan, but I do not mind it. In 2007, Carrie Underwood wrote a song called "So Small." In this song, it talks about how sometimes something that feels huge is actually so small in the grand scheme of things. High school is just that. Not only did I come from a small 2A school, but the four years I spent there flew by, and now, looking back, it is a small chapter in the vast life in front of me. I was involved in many extracurricular activities while taking dual credit courses.

PGISD 2024 Senior Perspective

Like all the seniors this year, I started my high school career at Pleasant Grove during the pandemic. Making friends in masks and walking in one direction throughout the entire school while social distancing was tough. And I had other trials, too. Family members who passed and friends who came and went. But when I think back on my time, there are some special moments that stand out. … I thought about the perfect prank, one that was innocent enough but would make the perfect amount of raucous and fun.

This was a hard lesson for me as a Type-A perfectionist who wanted to excel at everything immediately.
