Dawson graduated in the first ever graduating class of Desert Hill High School! He debated back and forth whether to switch to the new high school or finish up with most of his friends at Pine View. He took the road less traveled, and that has made all of the difference!
Dawson was asked to give the opening prayer at the graduation ceremony held in the new school's gymnasium. He also participated in a rap given in a talk by his good friend, Marcus Steed, who was senior class president. Dawson got to sit on the stand and stand in the congratuatory line and shake all of the hands of the graduates with the student body and senior class officers. He received this honor because he was seminary president.
At the awards night held earlier in the month he was awarded the Best Male Athlete of the year for his participation in Cross Country and Track and Field. He was the fastest long distance runner for the school this year. He was also given the award for Top Health Dept. Student of the Year, and Top Social Science Dept. Student of the Year. (He was chosen as Social Science Sterling Scholar this year) He received 3 nice medals to wear around his neck plus the Honor Society collar and the gold cords that hang for high GPA and he got an engraved silver watch for the Athlete award. (He had on more bling than some of those rappers wear!) Actually, he wouldn't wear all of the medals because he was so modest. What a humble boy!
