how it began
In junior high, Hudson Honeywell maintained perfect attendance and was named Valedictorian before moving on to
Huntsville High. Today, Hudson holds a 4.21 GPA, serves as
Vice President of Future Business Leaders of America, Leader of
Fellowship of Christian Athletes and an Appointed Officer on the
Student Council.
Hudson is also the recipient of the Hugh O’Brian Youth
Leadership Award and the Alabama Association of Secondary
School Principals Leadership Award. When he’s not working
on the farm, he spends his time volunteering with Cornerstone
Presbyterian Church and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Hudson said the best advice he’s received is found in the
Bible verse that reads, “Everyone to whom much was given, of
him much will be required.” He’s proud of the strong Christian
examples of his family members.

parents’ perspective
Mike and Heidi Honeywell raised their son Hudson to be consistent
in everything and pursue excellence “even to the smallest detail.”
“Hudson’s family is very supportive and encouraging. They have
provided a foundation of values that have shaped his commitment
to school, his community and his beliefs,” said Nancy Wolfe, school
counselor at Huntsville High. “Hudson is not afraid to take on
responsibility.”
parent-to-parent
Both Mike and Heidi Honeywell credit their parents for
their ability to achieve their goals. “My parents instilled
in me a belief that I had the opportunity to pursue any career path
that I desired,” Heidi said. “And gave me full financial and emotional
support,” said Mike.
They advise other parents to make sure their child is secure in
the fact that they have your unconditional love. “Be involved and
intentional in your child’s life and hold them accountable for their
character.”
