• Allyson DeVore

    ad

    Allyson Devore is a senior this year at HHS.  She is the daughter of Tom Devore and Katya King.  Allyson was nominated by an HHS teacher who said this: "Ally has demonstrated a level of enthusiasm for her current research-based argument project that truly places her efforts in the "above and beyond" category. At this point in the semester, she has already interviewed a former HHS teacher about the value of learning Mythology and conducted local research among students and teachers.

    Ally approaches what some might view as "extra work" with an attitude of "I can" and "I get to" do this, as opposed to "I have to." Her enthusiasm for her project has been contagious, leading to an overall sense of excitement and ownership from all students in her section. It's also quite touching that, as an outgoing HHS student, she is advocating for the implementation of a course that she believes will add value to our curriculum. This selfless choice shows that she cares about the future of HHS."

    Allyson reports her favorite subjects are Physics class with Mr. Garmon and Spanish 4.  Allyson's family is very important to her and on most days you can find her with her siblings-Tommy and Madi.  Allyson is very proud to be a Topper!  She says the way "we all come together and celebrate who we are" at Hillsboro High School is her favorite.  There are no boring days around HHS and she enjoys the strong support from our community.  In her spare time she enjoys playing volleyball, tennis, softball, competing in Scholar Bowl, Debate Club, Accounting Club, and Student Council.  Allyson's advice to other students is to enjoy every moment-no matter how small. Allyson would like to give a shout out to her sister, Madi, for being her best friends and dealing with her every day.   After high school, Allyson will be attending the University of Missouri to pursue a degree in business.
