|  Mason Horne is a recent graduate of Edna Karr High School. Like all members of the Class of 2020, he was unable to have a traditional, in-person graduation ceremony with his peers this spring (though Karr is rescheduling the event).“It is a challenge to mentally stay positive when the thing you worked twelve years for did not happen when you thought it would. We expected that celebratory moment. This year it wasn’t like that; we did not end the school year in person and we did not have prom or our Senior Picnic.”But Mason has much to celebrate. He was sixth in his class and has been on the Principal’s Honor Roll for all four years at Karr. He was voted to receive an award for Outstanding Academic Performance of the Year by the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), he tutors younger students at Karr, and he is the Student Government Association President.He sees even this difficult moment as a moment for leadership.“This moment makes you ask yourself if this is going to be a time for a setback or a time to regroup yourself. So this can also be an epiphany, or help you come to realizations.”He draws on the values he learned at Karr to help guide him.“Karr’s values spell PRIDE—Perseverance, Reflection, Independence, Dignity, Empathy—those core values are instilled in us to prepare us for the real world. And so for a situation like this, I’m going to use perseverance. I’m persevering through this tough time, being positive, and continuing to do positive things.”So Mason has used these recent weeks to write scholarship essays and finalize his application to his top college, Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia. He plans to study Finance.  |
