I Choose SPS: James Deskins, Parkview Senior

"Each year I take a picture with my dad’s chalk art for the first day of school and my mom posts it on SPS’ Facebook. There’s been a lot of excitement around the photos each year. It makes me feel very loved by my community and very supported every school year. I typically look forward to someone I don’t know asking me about the tradition every school year.

After high school, I plan on using my A+ Scholarship at OTC where I would like to study Risk Management. After that, who knows what the future holds?"
