Nick Edwards’ favorite activity throughout high school has been track and field. His favorite memories have taken place at State track when he was the alternate. He has also participated in football, band, the musical, and the fall play. Mr. O’Donnell has been the biggest influence in his high school career. Prior to being a Trojan, he has lived in Des Moines, IA and Mesa, Ariz. After graduating, Edwards plans on entering the National Guard. In ten years, he hopes to be an officer in the military. Another one of his favorite memories is when “my brother came home from basic training. I was so happy to see him again.” Edwards is most proud of being in the military.

When Edwards was younger, he strived to be a firefighter. If he won a million dollars, he’d use that money to “buy an NFL team.” His top three favorite books include, The Giver, Eleanor & Park, and Of Mice and Men.
