Stanley Cheatham was named Valedictorian, while Tyler Tran earned the distinction of Salutatorian.
“Humble ISD has, in my experience, provided a diverse environment for me to explore and build upon my passions, my leadership, and my future career. I have never once felt confined to one focus in my education,” Cheatham said. “While my future is set on the medical field, some of my most defining experiences these past four years have come from participating in Varsity Orchestra, German Club, and DECA. These clubs and extracurriculars, while irrelevant to my major, gave me invaluable experiences in community and leadership. These experiences are what will guide me as I enter this next chapter of my life.”
Tran added: “Attending Humble ISD schools has exposed me to a diverse set of people that cultivated the skills that I need to succeed at the next level. Friends and teachers that support me have helped me find a purpose to my time in Houston.”
