Fondest Memory of being a Blue Devil: During my first semester of college I realized how well the Wayne Community Schools had prepared me for my educational journey. One of the things that makes Wayne so special is the entire support system surrounding our youth – the school serving as the central pillar. I feel a great deal of gratitude to all the teachers, staff, and community members who have helped and inspired me along the way. Go Blue Devils!

Favorite Class – It would be difficult to choose a favorite class or teacher. I had a universally great experience.
Fondest Memory of being a Blue Devil – I have many good memories, so it is difficult to choose the fondest. I will say that winning the state cross-country team championship during our senior year was likely the best, in part because so many of my classmates were on the cross-country team (both varsity and JV), and it was wonderful to celebrate with them all.
