unforgettable. On top of all that, she spends the rest of her
time as the full-time director of the Eaton Sapphires drill
team for their year-round season. After a full day with her
dancers and students, Mrs. Prevett still must make time
to be with her family. It is apparent that Mrs. Prevett has a
very full plate but remains dedicated to pursuing excellence
for our class.
Mrs. Prevett shared that her personal experiences allowed
her to ensure the best senior year possible. Growing up, she
too was a part of the first graduating class at a new high
school in her hometown.
“I know the importance of setting traditions and wanting to
be the first of everything in the school,” she said. “I want us
to be remembered as the first graduating class.”
Because she has seen this through the eyes of a student
before, she knows exactly what we as seniors want.
An important part of the class sponsor’s job is to work with
our class officers. Assisting Mrs. Prevett is Cassie Weaver,
Eaton’s 2018 class president. Her responsibilities include
overseeing the other officers, helping organize fundraisers
and senior events, and ensuring that the year runs smoothly.
One of the first events Cassie, Mrs. Prevett, and the other
officers put together was our very first senior sunrise, a
planned annual event. Being the first senior class, this year’s
sunrise will set the tone for years to come, Cassie said.
“Putting this together, I felt
like I was flying blind – I
didn’t know how many people
would show up, who was
going to bring food, how
the details would work out,
were people going to enjoy
themselves, but it worked out
better than I imagined,” she
explained. “The class really
came through and worked
together – it was incredible.”

year for granted, because in her words, “It really is the end of
something special. We have such an incredible opportunity to
leave something behind for the future graduating classes and
the culture of Eaton High School.”
Mrs. Tami Prevett said that if there was anything she could tell
her younger self, it would be to “enjoy each day, because it really
does fly by.”
