Maddex takes photo of All-National and All-State students for yearbook

All national- and state-ranked athletes and musicians pose for their photo in the Pattonville Hall of Fame hallway outside of the main gym.

On Monday, Dec. 18, a picture was taken that showcases just how talented Pattonville students are. This picture featured All-State, All-National and state-ranked athletes and musicians.

“I decided to take the picture after I saw how many of my friends were receiving 1st and 2nd Team All-State in their sports and how many of my classmates had gotten All-State in choir and band,” senior Nadia Maddex said. “I figured, if you work that hard, why not show it off?”

This picture will be showcased in the 2018 yearbook along with a biography of the students’ accomplishments during the season.

The picture was taken in front of the Hall of Fame in the gym lobby.

“I chose to take it there because at some point, that is where these students will end up for their accomplishments.”

This picture featured 17 students who received honors in football, volleyball, soccer, cheerleading, choir, band and track.
