NDA has greatly changed my perspective on life.
There have been many challenges being the first class
of students at a brand-new school, but through these
challenges a tight-knit community was created. It feels
more like a family than a high school. The students
have learned to trust each other through thick and thin,
allowing us to become individuals and grow as people.
Our teachers genuinely care about us, and while I am
still anxious about my final year of high school and
going to college, I know that I have the support of
everyone at NDA.

My four years at Reynolds High School have been
nothing but amazing. One of the things I have learned
during my time in high school is the true meaning of family
and community. Another major lesson I learned is that
good leadership sets a foundation for student success,
and there is no other person that exemplifies that than
Mrs. Doris Sellers. Reynolds High School has not only
prepared me academically, but has prepared me for the
real world, setting me up for a successful future. I’ll be a
pre-med biology major next year at Clemson University.

I am going to basic combat training this August, then
straight to advanced individual training for the National
Guard. I’m already admitted to Appalachian State for
the fall of 2018. I’ll get to stay in North Carolina, pursue
my military career, and get benefits from the Guard.
Erwin helped me realize I have what it takes to be
successful in the military and at college. The JROTC
instructors taught me how to be a better citizen in my
community and helped me realize it’s good to give
back, have fun, and be smart with what you do.
