administra-
tion, which
will lead her
to a master’s
degree and
probably a
doctorate
before she
could lead
a school
district. “I like
the flexibility of working in educa-
tion, and when I do have kids, to
have the same schedule that they
do,” she said. Lindy was active in the
student council, where she served as
president, National Honor Society
and the suicide prevention group
Hannah for Hope.
She also played basketball and ran
cross country. In June, she’s looking
forward to the annual Parker County
Stock Show where she will be show-
ing her pigs and hopefully helping to
pay for college upon their sale. She
also competed in the UIL calculator
competition and one-act play. She’s
very familiar with the College Station
campus, having recently attended the
on-campus Muster, an annual Aggie
tradition with her family. She’s excit-
ed to follow them to attend school in
Aggieland. “I’m so excited to meet
new people. My whole family went
to A&M. It’s a family thing. I’m excit-
ed for the traditions and the sense of
community, even though it’s a huge
school,” she said.

From a few
moments of
adversity,
Ashley has
determined
about what
she wants
to be after
college.
She will be
attending the
University
of Texas in Austin and majoring in
Kinesiology, Applied Movement
Science with her eyes on becoming a
physical therapist or athletic trainer at
the college level. Even at her young
age, she had experience with athletic
trainers when she had a career-
ending concussion on the basketball
court her sophomore year, and physi-
cal therapists as she battled back
from reconstructive back surgery
resulting from a scoliosis diagnosis.
She didn’t let anything slow her
down, as evidenced by her busy year
as a Brock Eagle. As National Honor
Society president she scheduled a
drive to benefit a different charity
each month of the school year. She
was a member of the student council,
Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and
volunteered with Hannah for Hope,
a suicide prevention program. She
found success with the UIL Math
competition, taking it all the way to
state in Austin earlier this year.
Through her volunteer work
with the NHS, she said she’ll miss
all of the people she met along the
way. “Having constant contact with
the community in Brock and in
Weatherford and meeting all those
people was the coolest thing I’ve
done in the past two years,” she
said. Some of the charities the group
assisted include the Pythian Home,
Holland Lake Nursing Home, Adopt
a Highway, Cook Children’s Hospital,
Grace House and the Weatherford-
Parker County Animal She lter. They
also do tutoring at the elementary,
junior high and the high school
through NHS. “I mostly tutor at the
junior high. I prefer math. Anything
that seems like a puzzle, like logic
puzzles and that form of math. That’s
probably my favorite,” she said.
Millsap High School
Valedictorian:
Chase Buchanan
Parents: Bryan and Karen Buchanan
GPA 103.596
This graduate intends on staying
busy after high school, with plans
of majoring in business at Hardin
Simmons University in Abilene.
Chase plans on pursuing a career in
either general business or something
in the medi-
cal field. He
has attended
schools
within
Millsap ISD
his entire life.
“My favorite
memory has
been play-
ing baseball,
collectively,” said Chase. “All the
seasons, wins, comebacks, hard-
fought victories, I’ve loved doing it
all.”
He has participated in multiple
activities throughout his time at
Millsap High School, and this past
year participated in the Beta Club,
Spanish Club and, of course, was part
of the baseball team. He did admit
that he loves Parker County’s local
atmosphere, and how you are sure to
have a friend no matter where you go
throughout the county. “It has a good
energy,” said Chase.

Buster Lee
Parents: Jody and Chris Lee
GPA 102.016
Buster has big
plans after
his move
to College
Station to
attend Texas
A&M this
fall. He is
planning
on studying
computer
science in
hopes of eventually becoming a
computer scientist. Though he has
not been at Millsap High School
long, two and a half years to be
exact, he has gotten involved with
many of the activities that the school
provides. He is a part of both the
track and cross country teams, and is
also a part of the Beta Club, the Book
Club and the Spanish Club. He loves
Parker County because “it is a smaller
area, but it’s not,” Buster said. “There
is a lot to do for such a small area;
there seems to be a lot around. Plus,
everyone seems to know everyone.”
