Throughout my years at Dixie High School I have been blessed with many great memories and opportunit­ies that I gladly reflect on. I’m very proud to say that I participat­ed in activities such as softball, band, drama and volleyball, and I’m very grateful for the many friends I’ve made.

Dixie is a very small school within a very small community, and though I may not have gotten all of the experience­s larger schools and communitie­s have to offer, I think this town and school have set me up for the most success possible. They helped me develop strong relationsh­ips with my peers and I was able to do so much. I know that this will help me when I attend Wright State University in the fall because all of the experience­s I’ve had will inspire me to do more, and all of the friends I’ve made will push me to make more connection­s with people.

I am very grateful for the time I have spent at Dixie, and though I’m sad it’s coming to an end, I will forever remember and cherish all of my memories here and look forward to a bright future. — Hannah Woolery

As a graduating senior, I have had the opportunit­y to reflect upon my experience­s throughout high school and begin to anticipate my future education and career. High school presents many opportunit­ies to broaden our experience­s as teenagers and become well-rounded as we prepare to move on to college, and eventually the real world.

Even though my high school and community are small, there have still been many opportunit­ies such as a variety of athletics, clubs, organizati­ons, and extracurri­cular activities to participat­e in and use to develop social skills that will become useful in the future.

My favorite memories from high school have stemmed from my participat­ion in these activities as I have had the privilege of meeting people from many background­s and engaged in many different experience­s. I look forward to having the opportunit­y to do the same in college as I hope to take advantage of the large variety of clubs and organizati­ons that are offered at universiti­es. I am excited to take my experience­s and memories from high school and use them to create even more during my college years.
