Q: What activities, clubs, or sports were you involved in during your time at WHS?
A: I was involved in Telecommunications and Basketball.

Q: What advice would you give to current Tigers?
A: Love. Show real love—it always circles back. To teachers, peers, everyone. We live and struggle together, so do right and show love.
