Way to go Hazel!
🎓 Senior Spotlight: Hazel Garner
After 13 years in the Lowell School District, Hazel Garner is graduating with a legacy of laughter, leadership, and lots of volleyball and basketball. A dedicated athlete and ASB Activities Director, Hazel has spent her high school years making memories that will last a lifetime — especially through her favorite place: the court.
“All the best memories I’ve made were through sports,” she says with pride.
Among her biggest supporters was Ms. Miller, Hazel’s favorite teacher, who made a lasting impact in the classroom.
“I learned a lot from her. She challenged me and helped me grow.”
Hazel says she’ll especially miss the underclassmen she’s bonded with through sports, many of whom she’s helped guide and inspire along the way.
Of course, not every moment was serious. When asked about the funniest thing that happened during high school, Hazel doesn’t hesitate:
“Blowing up the staff bathroom and making Ms. B mad.”
(If you know, you know.)
Her advice to the next generation of Red Devils is simple and straight to the point:
“Do your work.”
After graduation, Hazel plans to attend Lane Community College and enroll in their Dental Hygiene Program, with the goal of becoming a Dental Hygienist — a career she’s excited to pursue.
Before she closes this chapter, Hazel gives a heartfelt shoutout to her closest friends and teammates:
“Marley Plahn, Jade Clark, Henley Garner, Maddy Thurman, McKenna McComas, and all my other teammates — thank you for being part of this amazing journey.”
With her strong drive, hilarious sense of humor, and love for her community, Hazel is ready to take on the future — one smile at a time.
