Meet Camille Holcomb! Camille is a senior at Gainesville High School and plans to attend the University of Georgia in the fall.
The advice Camille would give to her fellow students is, “”I would say don’t take anything for granted. Try to talk to everyone in your classes to make new friends, go to all the sporting events you can, and become close with all your teachers. High School creates some of the best memories, and if you take things for granted you may not be able to see the great opportunities you are missing out on.”
We want to congratulate Camille on her upcoming graduation and best wishes in her future endeavors!

would you say?
