It is with honor to shine this week’s spotlight on senior, Kylee Halverson. Over the course of her high school journey, Kylee has demonstrated remarkable academic and personal growth.

While her early years at CHS presented challenges in earning credits, she refused to let those setbacks define her.

Through persistence and a renewed commitment to her education, she steadily improved her academic performance and has shown tremendous progress each year.

Now, as she approaches the final stretch toward graduation, she is on track to earn her diploma in June 2026, a reflection of her hard work, maturity and determination to succeed.

Beyond the classroom, Kylee has balanced her responsibilities with impressive dedication, maintaining employment for multiple years while continuing to focus on her studies.

Her ability to manage work and school simultaneously highlights her growing sense of responsibility and resilience. Kylee has plans to earn her CTE certification in Early Childhood Education, continue her education at WNC and then continue on to UNR.

Throughout life’s challenges, she has shown strength and courage, trusting supportive adults to help her through difficult times and help her make positive choices for her future.

Her story is one of perseverance, growth and strength, which is a powerful reminder that success often comes from overcoming obstacles with determination. Congratulations, Kylee, your time as Senior in the Spotlight is well-deserved.
