Holidays will be Happy for Many College-Bound Wakulla High Seniors

U. S. Postal workers have been kept busy delivering letters of acceptance to Wakulla High School Seniors in what is sure to be a happy holiday season. Florida State University has come to Wakulla County “early and often” as it recruits freshman for the 2007 academic class.

Woodham Harvey, son of Kelley and William Harvey, has received a letter inviting him to become a Seminole in the fall. Joining him will be Jonathan E. Johnson, son of Marsha and Henry Johnson. Jonathan has not only been accepted to FSU but he has been admitted to the prestigious FSU Honors program. Daniel Miller, son of Janet and Terry Miller, has been accepted to Florida State University and offered a $9,600 freshman scholarship. Additionally, Daniel has been accepted to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University where he was named an Embry-Riddle Scholar.

Another War Eagle with big choices to make will be John Pope, son of Jeanne and Wyatt Pope. John has been accepted to both Florida State University and Tulane University in Louisiana. Kelly Resha, daughter of Jennifer and John Mock, has also heard the chants from FSU calling her name. Sean Reynolds, son of Mary and John Reynolds, is one step closer to his goal of becoming a ‘Nole after he received his letter of acceptance. Mary Jane Tucker, daughter of Cassandra and Richard Tucker, will be a full time Seminole in the fall. Mary Jane is already dual enrolled and taking classes at FSU this year.

The Troy University Trojans in Troy, Alabama are pleased to be welcoming Casey Mitchell into the freshman class of 2007. Casey is the daughter of Regina and Gregory Mitchell. Another War Eagle who is planning to travel out of state for college is William Trey Taylor, son of Joann and William Taylor. Trey has been accepted to North Georgia College and State University in Dahlonega, Georgia. North Georgia College and State University is a senior military college and upon completion, Trey will have an opportunity to accept a commission in the United States Army.

Making important decisions is nothing new to this senior that has been accepted and offered athletic scholarships at two schools. Dana Roloff, daughter of Sharon and Craig Roloff, will be spending her winter break deciding if she will attend Pensacola Junior College in Pensacola, Florida or Florida Community College in Jacksonville. Dana, who plays first base and pitches, was also named Wakulla High School’s female Wendy’s High School Heisman nominee.
