Advance High School 2016 valedictorian, Creighton Miles.Laura Simon

Favorite high-school experience: We got fourth place in golf this year at the state level.

Biggest role model: The MythBusters (on the Discovery Channel). They blow a lot of stuff up and shoot a lot of guns.

Advice to underclassmen: You can’t make up your GPA senior year. By that same token, you can’t slack off your senior year, either.

Three words for the entire high-school experience: If there were four, I’d say, “Are we done yet?”
