Instagram post 2319858265494606172_1090807328 ***Senior Highlight*** This senior is graduating from Navarro High School in the top 4% of his class! His hard work and academic achievement got him accepted into 14 different universities and has now decided to attend UT in the fall! Hook em! As a River Watcher, he learned, "That it is really important to care for the environment and as we do that we feel more connected to the nature" Caps off to you, graduate! UT is gaining a very promising new addition. Congratulations on your graduation and best of luck in your future career!
Instagram post 2319066345257229173_1090807328 ***Senior Highlight*** This River Watcher graduating from Northeast High School has been with us for 4 years! Since 2016, she has spent 280 hours helping us test water quality, plant native grasses, and clean up our creeks! WOW! After being accepted into 7 different universities, this girl is moving on to UTSA to study biology! We have so many special memories with her but her favorite one is when she went to Mt. Bonnell for the first time. Thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into improving Austin's waterways! Know that River Watch will always be here for you, cheering you on, looking forward to wherever life takes you next, and feeling so proud of you!
Instagram post 2318416051606854433_1090807328 ***Senior Highlight*** This senior is graduating from Northeast High School in the top 25% of her class. In high school she recieved a VASE medal for her work in film and is now going on to study film at ACC! As a River Watcher, she completed over 110 service hours since 2018. Her favorite memory with us was going on the Girls Spring Break Ecoadventure to West Texas in 2019 where she climbed the Davis Mountains, saw the stars at the McDonald Observatory and made so many new friends! We are so proud to watch this girl graduate and pursue her dream of studying film! We will miss you so much!
Instagram post 2317596038557773417_1090807328 ***Senior Highlight*** This senior is graduating from McCallum High School and moving on to the University of Houston where he hopes to study Environmental Sociology. He has been a dedicated and enthusiastic River Watcher since 2018, completing over 14o hours of service with our organization. Looking back on his time with us, he thinks his favorite memory was the first time he ever visited the ecohouse saying, "Just being so far from everything was kinda magical." And after 2 years of tree plantings, trash-clean ups and water quality testing he says he has discovered, "How interconnected and intentional everything in nature is." We are so proud of this River Watcher and all of his accomplishments. Can't wait to see where life takes you!
