Mr. July – Jackson Heil
What is the charity you chose to represent?
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation. The foundation is a charity organization that builds smart homes for veterans and former first responders who were tragically injured in the line of duty. These homes are mortgage-free and accommodate the structure and functions of the home to the injuries of the recipient. I chose to represent this foundation because it aligns with all the values that I have learned throughout my years of high school by providing respect to people who have served and protected our country.
Why do you best represent WTHS?
I have learned how to serve our community and represent all the programs I participate in everywhere I go. I am always smiling and spreading positive vibes and feelings in whatever class or setting I am in.
If you could pick anyone beside yourself to win, who would it be?
Ryan Crowley. He also represents WTHS with his personality and spirit that he brings to each room he enters.
Favorite food:
Pork Fried Rice
Favorite music artist:
Pitbull
What TV show/movie character are you most like?
Shawn Spencer from the show Psych. Shawn is a wacky individual who uses his unique personality to make others around him laugh. I like to use my positive attitude and personality to try and make others around me happy.
What teacher or faculty member has made the biggest impact on your high school career?
Lieutenant Colonel Lumpkin because she has always believed in me and given me chances for success. I have had her for four years as an instructor in JROTC and she has given me many opportunities to rise in the program. I would not be where I am now without her influence.
