Our Outstanding Senior from Ashbrook High School is Emily Dixon. 

She won the Ashbrook High School talent show by performing an unusual act – speed cubing. Emily Dixon’s interest in the sport of solving complex puzzles (think Rubik’s Cube) led to her becoming a community representative for the World Cube Association Advisory Council. She also established the “Keep Fighting Productions” channel on YouTube to share inspirational and encouraging information. After being diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, Emily’s message is “never give up, no matter the circumstances.” Emily is a pro at time management, which is a plus when it comes to balancing school work, enjoying her hobbies, and spending time with friends. Her drive, kindness, and focus will surely take her down the path toward success.
