With a school as big as Thomas, students often find themselves graduating without knowing what their classmates are going to pursue after the fact. We encourage students to reach out, and ask the kids they grew up with what their hopes and dreams are. TWHS news has done some of the dirty work for you, asking a variety of eight students, all involved in different activities, what they see their future looking like. After being asked a variety of questions about their highschool experience, and what they plan to do after graduation these were the responses.
