A huge Congratulations to our ATHLETES OF THE MONTH for April 🙌🏻 These two students were nominated by their coaches based on their academic standing, community service, leadership abilities, and athletic accomplishments!
Alicia Chen: Alicia is a phenomenal person both on and off the field. Her family moved to Jones County a year ago and in such a short time she has already made a huge impact in our community. Alicia sings and plays guitar in the praise band at her church, she is an active member in FCA, plays soccer, and remains a straight A student. Alicia is a great athlete with incredible leadership skills. We are so blessed to have her here and can’t wait to see what she accomplishes in the next couple of years as a Greyhound.
Kalyb Durden: Kalyb is a 4 year member of the boys’ varsity tennis team and a standout both on and off the court. This season, he earned 1st team All-Region honors. His senior year was filled with hard work, consistency, and competitive excellence. One of this most memorable achievements came when he battled through the longest match of the season. Because of his determination and mental toughness, he came out victorious! Kaleb was 8-1 for the season, making him the most successful boys player this year. Kalyb is a natural leader who brings positivity to his team everyday. He takes his commitment to the tennis team very seriously while he also works up to 40 hours a week at his job and helping his younger brother to learn the game of tennis.
