2022 Senior Spotlight: Andrew’s favorite memory in high school is, ” Playing in a quarterfinal game my junior year! The tension was at an all-time high and I will never forget the energy in that building. Even though we lost I’m glad to be a part of such a great moment.”Andrew has this to say about being Thunderbird Proud, “Playing football this year made me feel the proudest of being a thunderbird. After winning against South Callaway and reclaiming the Callaway Cup it was a satisfying experience to have.” One piece of advice Andrew would like to give anyone would be to “Stay true to yourself. Don’t change anything about yourself to stay relevant to others. It’s a waste of time and you get nothing out of it.”After high school, Andrew plans to attend Mizzou and stay with my older sister. He hopes to get involved with Civil engineering. It’s been an aspiration of his for years. We are super proud of you Andrew! The staff, teachers, and administrators wish you the very best in your life journey beyond high school. Congratulations! #ThunderbirdProud

2022 Senior Spotlight: Payton’s favorite high school memory is, “Having a lil’ competitive rivalry with Blake Whipple but still being able to be best friends growing up.” Playing football is what has made Payton the most Thunderbird Proud. His legacy advice to underclassmen is, “Don’t take it for granted, if you wanna do something do it. You don’t wanna regret it.” After high school, Payton plans to attend Westminster College to play football and major in Physical Education. We are very proud of you Payton! The teachers, staff, and administrators wish you the very best in your journey beyond high school. Congratulations! #ThunderbirdProud
