“After graduating this month, I plan to enlist in the US Marine Corps and serve my country. I believe in the power of service, and I look forward to being a part of an organization such as the Marines, where I can continue to develop my character, help those who need support and make a positive impact in the world I am living in,” stated then-senior Tylan Kanady when he was interviewed as a part of the 2021 Senior Spotlight series.
