With whistles blowing, the crowd cheered and senior Davis Collier runs down the field with the LHS flag in hand.
Collier serves in student council as student body parliamentarian, where he facilitates communication in the classroom and helps plan events outside of the classroom. He also leads FCA as co-president where he works with other FCA officers to plan Wednesday meetings and night huddles outside of school.
“I’ve really enjoyed the community of student council, where it’s not necessarily an academic period, but I get to do more hands-on projects with my friends,” Collier said. “FCA has just been super sweet this year with the huge amount of growth we’ve had and seeing a community like that in school is just so rare.”
Student Council teacher Mr. Dedric Williams believes what sticks out to him about Collier is his consistency.
“Davis is authentic in his interactions with people. His demeanor exudes comfort, strength and compassion,” Mr. Williams said. “I think being a senior this year has afforded him a platform to pour into the underclassmen. I love the fact that he stands strong in his faith and allows that to guide his conversation and his conduct.”
Mr. Williams notices how Collier continually encourages and involves his peers in everything he does.
“Davis is typically the voice of reason no matter the topic. He is extremely mature and always strives to simultaneously apply logic and love to situations,” Mr. Williams said. “He is an encourager and always takes opportunities to appreciate others for what they do. Although his role by definition is one that doesn’t talk a lot, Davis is a voice that all listen to. I have thoroughly enjoyed having him as a part of the Executive Board this year.”
Collier feels grateful for all of the memories he gets to make in high school through football games and many more events.
“It makes me sad that I won’t be able to attend football games anymore and truly experience the school spirit, but I’ve had a great four years of amazing memories,” Collier said. “I loved getting to be a senior this year, getting to be the big dog on campus and feel more confident in everything I do.”
