House: Dragon.
Any leadership positions?
This year: Dragon House Prefect, Senior class Events Coordinator and Fundraising Chair, Hospitality Club leadership, and Homecoming Director. Previously: Dragon prefect junior year, Dragon recorder and rank commander
What are your plans for after graduation?
Planning to attend Northeastern State University, through the Presidents Leadership Class.
A school activity and/or club you want to remember:
Dragon House will always have a special place in my heart. I have loved getting to serve and be in leadership for 6 out of 8 years at ACA. House has taught me so much about being a good and strong leader, and I will forever be grateful for my experience as Prefect!
Favorite class at ACA and why?
Obviously my mom, Mrs. Rowland was my favorite teacher, but besides her Mr. Tracy made a huge impact on my life. I was so blessed to get to be in his classes, but truly get to know him. I will always look up to him and be thankful for all the valuable lessons he taught me. He showed how much he truly believed in me and I can't thank him enough for the confidence he gave me.
What advice do you have for ACA students?
Don't be afraid. Be spontaneous and crazy. Stay up late. Procrastinate your homework to hang out with friends. Don't stress over a bad grade or an orange slip.

Any leadership positions?
I was Griffin House Recorder as a sophomore, Prefect as a junior, and now I am the senior class secretary and treasurer. I was also just given the position of queen. It has been such a great honor to serve the school, grow, and have fun in these positions!
What are your plans for after graduation? I plan to attend Oral Roberts University and major in psychology to later start a career in counseling.
A school activity and/or club you want to remember:
The entire Hello, Dolly! experience was so much fun, and I'll always treasure the memories I made during it!
Favorite class at ACA and why?
I love all the teachers so so much, but I really enjoyed Mrs. Redden's classes and British Literature with Mrs. Anderson!
What advice do you have for ACA students?
Get to know everyone you get a chance to, and always focus on the good!
