✨ Crest Ridge Senior Spotlight ✨
Student: Breanna Shippy
Breanna’s favorite high school memory is winning districts with her volleyball team.
During her time at Crest Ridge, she has been involved in FBLA, FCA, FFA, FCCLA, volleyball, cheer, and softball.
She shares that Lylah, Laney, Addie, and Jenna made school fun and had the biggest impact on her during her time at Crest Ridge.
Her advice to younger Cougars is to get involved and make the most of their high school experience. It goes by fast, so make it worth your while.
After graduation, Breanna plans to attend State Fair, where she will cheer while completing the two-year nursing program before transferring to UCM.
Looking ahead 10 years, she sees herself with her nursing license, working where she wants to be, and living somewhere beautiful with her husband.
A fun fact about Breanna is that she’s terrified of heights but rode a roller coaster for the first time ever this year.
Her favorite quote is: “Great things take time, and that’s why I was always late.”
✨ Crest Ridge Senior Spotlight ✨
Student: Adian Basham
Adian’s favorite high school memory is laughing and making memories with his friends, especially Devon and Carsen. During his time at Crest Ridge, he was involved in football, track, and basketball until his 11th-grade year.
He shares that several people have made a big impact on him, including Ms. Taylor, his grandma, his friends, and his family. One person who especially stood out to him is Stephanie Hursh.
His advice to younger Cougars is to be yourself, do your work, and always give 100% in everything you do.
After graduation, Adian plans to work, make money, and save for his future. Looking ahead 10 years, he hopes to be living in a home with a beautiful wife and enjoying the life he wants.
A fun fact about Adian is that he loves walking his fish while his dog does the dishes, so his microwave can do the laundry.
His favorite song that inspires him is “Wake Up” by Fetty Wap.
Come get all the details tonight at 6pm in the HS Library!
