12th grade, Fort Bragg High School, Fort Bragg USD
For much of his childhood, Trevor Johnson lived on the move. School was something other kids did, a place he rarely had the chance to stay long enough to call his own. When he arrived at Fort Bragg High School, he was years behind and carrying an academic record that suggested graduation might be out of reach. But Trevor wanted something bigger than credits. He wanted the full high school experience. He found it in wrestling matches, mock trial competitions, basketball games and cheering alongside classmates. In June, Trevor crossed the graduation stage, proving that sometimes belonging is where success begins.
“If I could go back and make anything different, I would leave everything how it was, because I’m pretty happy with the direction my life’s going now.”
