Senior Ayson Simmons was the student recognized.

Ayson is also described as a “Quiet leader that lets actions speak much louder than words. He’s loyal, trust-worthy, responsible and self-motivated, with great follow through.

Ayson’s future goals include earning a degree in Business and Management.
