Johnny Vaughn, a senior with GCHS Welding, has been with Mid-Park for two years. Johnny has the best attitude. He is willing to learn and to tackle any project. Johnny did not like school. When he began employment, part of the deal was he had to graduate. He truly is a success.
Logan Saling is a senior from GCHS Welding. He planned to quit school to work full-time to support himself. Thanks to Mr. Matt Hayes, he didn't. Logan is an inspiration. He has a lot on his plate but managed to complete his education and maintain his job. That is determination.
