A different kind of celebration Graduation this year isn’t what seniors were expecting. They’re supposed to be walking across a stage, moving a tassel from one side to the other in front of a crowd of cheering well-wishers including friends and family.

It’s a right of passage and one of more than a few that COVID-19 stole from the class of 2020.

Since mid-March, students have seen their teachers and classmates in Zoom video conferences instead of the classroom. Lessons have been completed online. Competitions in athletics, arts, music and more were canceled. Proms were canceled.

But graduation isn’t canceled.

A drive-through ceremony isn’t what they deserve, but we hope these seniors and their friends and families find ways to celebrate their

achievements in whatever ways they safely can.

Their graduation story will be one for the history books. And they can move forward with the knowledge that this world needs their contributions perhaps now more than ever.

The Times puts together this special senior recognition each year, highlighting a few standout stories from our local seniors, but this year we’ve added graduation lists from our local schools in an effort to honor as many graduates as we can.

We hope you’re inspired by these stories and join us in celebrating the class of 2020.

Learning online, keeping busy amid car crash recovery

BY KELSEY PODO

kpodo@gainesvilletimes.com Only a couple of months into her first semester of senior year, Allie Blackburn of North Hall High School woke up in an ambulance with a metal contraption around her head.

“My body was in so much shock,” Blackburn said. “I couldn’t feel anything, and I could move everything except for my hips.”

She doesn’t remember the October car accident, just what people have told her.

Blackburn was driving with a friend home from Howard E. Ivester Early College when a vehicle rear-ended them on Interstate 985.

“My friend and I went up in the air and hit an F-150 in front of us and rolled onto the driver’s side,” Blackburn said. “A bunch of bystanders got me out. I don’t remember anything from exit 17 to 20.”

Blackburn’s pelvis and two of her ribs broke, and she had concussion. She was sent home after spending a little more than 24 hours in the hospital.

At first, Blackburn said her doctor didn’t think surgery was necessary. That changed when her damaged pelvis continued to cause excruciating pain.

She went back to the hospital to have screws placed in her hips.

Throughout her senior year, Blackburn said her mother has been her biggest support.

“She sat through everything in the hospital and drove me back and forth to every doctor’s appointment,” she said.

While recovering, Blackburn took her classes online. She said she finished all of her school work

the day before public schools officially closed because of the pandemic.

Before the crash, she worked two jobs, one at a Wendy’s in Cleveland and the other at Ingles on Thompson Bridge Road. She also took courses at Early College.

Blackburn said she held two jobs not because she needed the money, but for the stimulation.

“I just like staying busy,” she said. “I like working, and I don’t like staying at home.”

When she recovered from her injuries, Blackburn said she tried to jump back into her two jobs.

Standing for long periods of time at Wendy’s proved challenging, so she switched to only working at Ingles.

Now done with school, she has a nearly full-time job as an office worker with the grocery store.

In the fall, she plans to study business management at Lanier Technical College. She dreams of becoming a store manager and later starting her own business.

“I like dealing with the chaos of different places,” Blackburn said. “I can see the stress, and it attracts me. I just like being in the rush.”

Missing his dad instills passion for basketball

BY NATHAN BERG

nberg@gainesvilletimes.com Cherokee Bluff senior Griffin Neville started playing basketball out of necessity, but it has grown into his greatest passion.

As a kid, Neville preferred baseball, and he remembers spending hours playing catch in the front yard with his dad. But when his dad was called away for work at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, often for weeks at a time, Neville had to turn to other athletic pursuits.

“We always had a basketball goal outside, so when I started missing him, I would just start going outside and playing basketball, and that would take my mind off of it a lot,” he said. “That’s really where I started falling in love with the game.”

By the fourth grade, Neville started taking the sport seriously, “because I realized how bad I was.”

By sixth grade, he had quit baseball to focus on his hoop dreams year round.

Neville began his high school career at Gainesville but transitioned to Cherokee Bluff as a junior, the first year the South Hall school opened.

He made the decision partly because his mom got a job teaching at Cherokee Bluff and partly because his former coach at Gainesville, Benjie Wood, made the switch to coach the Bears basketball team at the same time.

“It wasn’t a hard decision,” Neville said. “It wasn’t that hard of a transition either. I had a ton of friends on the basketball team. It was fun.”

Neville saw a heavy increase in play time at his new school, letting him catch the eye of college recruiters as his game developed.

Playing at the college level has always been a part of his plan.

“It’s been a dream really, not even just a goal,” he said. “It’s been a dream since about when I started playing in rec league games and it was a real game — we were keeping score and the refs weren’t just teaching us not to travel and double dribble. It’s been a dream ever since then.”

Neville attended a basketball camp at Young Harris College in the fall of his junior year, and the coaching staff there made an immediate impact on him. The Mountain Lions coaches saw something special in him, too.

Young Harris assistant coach Andre Smith came to watch Neville play during a summer game when he was a rising senior. Smith called Neville after the game to deliver the good news: Neville would be receiving a scholarship to play basketball at Young Harris.

He remembers getting the call while waiting in line to order a sandwich at Schlotzsky’s with his mom.

“It just felt really emotional,” he said. “I didn’t want to cry about it, but I was like, all my dreams are coming true. Now I can’t wait to get up there.”

Neville said he’s excited to get onto the Young Harris campus, where his dad went to school back when it was a two-year college. But even as he moves on to the next phase of his life, he will always remember his time at Cherokee Bluff and the positive impact the school made on him.

“Cherokee Bluff has left a huge mark on me,” Neville said. “It’s taught me how to be a better person, and it’s taught me how to be a better basketball player. You walk in and it’s just an amazing atmosphere. I loved being at Cherokee Bluff.”

‘We always had a basketball goal outside, so when I started missing him, I would just start going outside and playing basketball, and that would take my mind off of it a lot.

That’s really where I started falling in love with the game.’ Griffin Neville

Flexible schedule, pace gives chance at academic success

BY NATHAN BERG

nberg@gainesvilletimes.com Journey Livingston hasn’t taken the straightest path to graduation, but three years later than expected, she’s made it to the finish line at 21 years old.

Livingston will graduate this May from Mountain Education Charter School, but her high school career began at East Hall High School.

She struggled with math in the more conventional setting, and after failing the same class in both her sophomore and junior years decided it was time for a change.

“I had to find something where I could work on my own schedule, because I was already very far behind,” she said. “A friend of mine, her mom mentioned something about Mountain Ed. I looked into it and decided to give it a try.”

Mountain Education is a school that allows students to work at their own pace and does not hand out failing grades. Instead, students can take as much time as they need to work their way into passing and eventually earning a high school diploma.

Livingston said the lenient schedule was exactly what she needed to succeed.

“You can do things at your own pace, so if you’re not understanding it, you can go back and look at it,” she said. “You don’t have to have it done by a certain time or a certain day. It’s really just what you can get done in the moment.”

A flexible schedule also was important for Livingston, who has spent the last year and a half working full time as a server and bartender at Outback Steakhouse to support her father and fiance, who have both been living with her.

CLASS OF 2020

JOURNEY LIVINGSTON, MOUNTAIN EDUCATION CHARTER SCHOOL

Livingston said her long hours often kept her at the restaurant late into the night, making it difficult to juggle work and school.

“I’m usually there pretty late,” she said. “So being able to do schoolwork whenever I could fit it in was very helpful.”

But whenever things got tough, knowing that her small family was depending on her was the ultimate motivation.

Whether it was an extra long shift at work or a particularly difficult test, Livingston said thoughts of her father and fiance helped to power her through tough times as she worked toward her diploma.

“When people depend on me, I can’t stop,” she said. “I can’t say I’ll do it later or I’ll get it done eventually. You have to do it, and you have to do it now. If you have the time to do it, you have to get it done. You can’t put it off and you can’t procrastinate.”

After graduation, Livingston said her next plan is to become a surgical technician — a goal she has discussed at length with her aunt who is a surgeon. Livingston hopes to attend North Georgia Nursing Academy, where she said she can earn a certification for her dream job in 48 to 56 weeks.

And while Livingston’s academic journey is far from over, she said she would never have made it this far without Mountain Education.

“I’ve gotten really close with a bunch of the people that work there, a lot of the teachers,” Livingston said. “They know me.

They know my family. They know what I’ve been through. They’re just very supportive. I think it’s people that I’ll talk to for a very long time. I don’t think I would have ever been able to graduate without Mountain Education.”

Born blind but discovers strengths in music, science

BY KELSEY PODO

kpodo@gainesvilletimes.com When his teacher writes a math problem on the board, Matthew Jue, a senior at Lakeview Academy, doesn’t bother looking up or writing on a piece of paper.

Instead, he listens and solves the equation in his mind.

Unlike most of his classmates, Jue was born blind.

“It’s just an everyday thing,” Jue said. “I was never good at sports because I barely see the ball, but I always tried to do my best.”

During his early childhood, he said his parents never gave up on helping him regain his eyesight.

After meeting Dr. Richard Hertle, an ophthalmologist, Jue began to see little by little with each treatment.

Right now Jue said he can see all colors and make out silhouettes.

Unless a person is standing close within his line of sight, he can’t decipher faces.

“The further away I am, my vision gets blurry real fast,” he said.

“Other than that, I’m lucky enough to get my vision to where it is today.”

In order to keep up in school, Jue said he has pushed himself to work harder and smarter. Despite his lacking eyesight, Jue threw himself into extracurricular activities like playing on the school’s varsity soccer team, running cross country and performing in multiple plays like “The Addams Family,” “The Wedding Singer,” and “Catch Me If You Can.” But at the end of the day, he finds solace in music.

Jue said music is something his eyesight could never hinder. He enjoys escaping from the challenges of life and losing himself in his guitar.

“It cheers up my day every time I play it,” Jue said. “I just feel like you can make anything you want on the guitar.”

In the fall, Jue will begin studying chemical engineering at the University of Georgia. After earning his bachelor’s, he aims to pursue medical school.

Jue said his teacher Marvin Clarke ignited a passion in him for chemistry.

Love of livestock leads to multiple career options

BY KELSEY PODO

kpodo@gainesvilletimes.com It’s difficult to look elegant walking an 1,800-pound beef cow.

However, Ellie Clark, a senior at Chestatee High School, leads her cattle with ease, letting nine years of showmanship flow into her every movement.

Growing up on her family’s cattle farm, Clark said a passion for livestock was bred into her.

She started showing beef cows in the third grade, and as she grew

older, competed in three to four shows a year through Hall County 4-H. “I’ve realized what amazing creatures cattle are,” Clark said.

“I’ve honestly formed bonds with the cattle I’ve shown.”

During her senior year, Clark became a full-time dual enrollment student, taking classes from Howard E. Ivester Early College in the morning, then completing Work-Based Learning hours during afternoons on her farm.

Because Chestatee High

doesn’t have an agriculture program, Clark also spent part of her senior year interning at North Hall Middle to explore a potential career in that field. She helped the school’s agriculture teacher and started the school’s first beef cattle show team.

“It was definitely rewarding to teach them and compete against them at shows,” Clark said.

Each cattle show is divided into two categories: showmanship and class. Showmanship entails leading a cow into a ring with utter control. Depending on where

the judge is positioned, each cow must be shifted into a correct stance.

Clark said the class category focuses more on the appearance of the cow. Judges look for favorable body shapes found in specific cow breeds.

This fall, Clark plans to pursue a bachelor’s in animal and dairy science at the University of Georgia. Instead of entering the show ring, Clark said she intends to join the college’s livestock judging team.

For now, she has set her sights

on pursuing a career as a large animal veterinarian. However, Clark said she is comfortable keeping her options open.

If she could give one piece of advice to upcoming seniors, Clark would tell them to not stress over plans that don’t come to fruition.

“I wanted to be a (small animal) veterinarian, then I thought I’d be an agriculture teacher,” she said.

“Someone told me to write your plans in pencil and give God the eraser. We’re not in charge of what happens.”

Service, science and music helped him flourish

BY NATHAN BERG

nberg@gainesvilletimes.com Luca Bandini has always felt the urge to give back.

Bandini, a senior at Gainesville High School, has volunteered to build homes with Habitat for Humanity and give away food at the Georgia Mountain Food Bank.

“I think it’s just the way my parents raised me,” he said. “They taught me good values, to help people.”

Bandini’s giving nature, combined with his love for science, has led him to pursue a career in the medical field following his graduation from Gainesville. He said he’s not quite sure what specific career path he will take but believes he wants to start out as a physician assistant.

Bandini was also a dual enrollment student at the University of North Georgia as a senior, and held a 3.71 GPA over the course of his high school career. He also has Asperger’s syndrome, a condition Bandini said has made staying focused in classes a challenge.

He said a strong support system in high school is what has kept him on top of his grades and in pursuit of his dreams.

“For me, it’s a lot of an attention disorder, so I will sometimes have trouble focusing,” he said.

“But my parents and my teachers, really a lot of people in this school, have helped me out with overcoming that.”

Bandini has always loved science, but he discovered a passion for music as well when he first picked up a trumpet in sixth grade.

He joined the middle school band and had his first opportunity to play with the Big Red marching band on eighth grade night in his last fall before enrolling at Gainesville High. From the first moment he took the field, Bandini knew he wanted to continue playing with the band in high school.

“You go out there with all of them for the first time, and you get to kind of experience a little bit of what they do,” he said. “It’s pretty exciting.”

Bandini worked at the instrument throughout his high school career, improving his skills and

making lifelong friends along the way.

By his senior year, he was ready to move to section leader.

“I wanted to go further, and so I applied to be the section leader, and I got it,” he said. “As far as

responsibilities, you have to teach the rest of the section how to do the marching stuff, how to play the music.”

Between his music, his academics and the relationships he built over four years at Gaines-

ville High, Bandini said the school played a major role in his formative years.

No matter where he ends up, he said he’ll always be proud to be a Red Elephant and will never forget the people who made his high

school experience special.

“Those high school years were really important for me to develop,” he said. “I’m going to have those friends forever. I’ll always remember the time I had there.”

Fishing hooks him a scholarship, lifelong friendships

BY NATHAN BERG

nberg@gainesvilletimes.com Growing up, Avery Hammock was known as “that kid who goes fishing every day.”

Starting in middle school, Hammock would spend all his free time hitching up a johnboat to the back of a golf cart and driving it down to one of the many lakes in the Sterling on the Lake community to go fishing.

“It was just a pastime,” Hammock said. “Just something to do.”

In the years since, it’s become so much more for Hammock, a senior at Flowery Branch High School.

Hammock was in eighth grade when he hatched the idea of starting a bass fishing team at Flowery Branch. His cousin was a member of the Jefferson High School fishing team, and together, along with a few other friends, they put together the plans to start the Flowery Branch High School Anglers.

“We got information on how to start a team and how to get kids to be a part of a team,” Hammock said. “It was something me and my buddies really enjoyed to do.

We really loved to fish, and we wanted to open it up to everybody in my school.”

At 14, Hammock secured sponsorships for the team, picking up financial support from local businesses like Nichols Bodyshop, Oakwood Bait and Tackle, AVC Marine, Marine Klean and Outdoor Depot, among others. He also had to contact and coordinate with boat captains, so each of the group’s 10 teams of two fishermen would have everything they needed to compete. Hammock said he connected with several boat owners on Facebook who were willing to take kids out fishing for free if the scheduling lined up.

“We had a ton of support behind us in the community, and they were able to make this happen,” he said.

Hammock’s love for fishing is even helping to pay for his higher education.

‘It was something me and my buddies really enjoyed to do. We really loved to fish, and we wanted to open it up to everybody in my school.’ Avery Hammock January, Hammock got a call from Erskine College head bass fishing coach Ryan Teems with a scholarship offer to join the team. Hammock said 75% of his college schooling is being paid for through the sport he has loved since his middle school days.

The news was overwhelming.

“I was in shock at first,” he said.

“I was just completely overjoyed and very thankful for the opportunity. It’s something that I’ve seen happen to people, but I never really thought it would be me in that situation.”

Hammock said his time with the FBHS Anglers has defined his high school experience. He’s learned lessons in leadership, time management and, of course, fishing.

“It was one of the best experiences of my life,” he said. “I

learned how to connect with kids that have the same passion that I do. There’s not a ton of kids that love to fish, especially in Flowery Branch. But the ones that did, I learned how toconnect with them, and I’ve made lifelong friends with them.”

Opening up through service and theater

REBEKAH CROZIER, LANIER CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

BY NATHAN BERG

nberg@gainesvilletimes.com

SCOTT ROGERS | The Times

Rebekah Crozier has always been an introvert at heart.

When she first enrolled at Lanier Christian Academy, Crozier remembers being shy, quiet and typically unwilling to move out of her comfort zone. But over the past four years, she has transformed.

It started when she joined the school’s Beta Club in the ninth grade. Crozier said she enjoyed the charitable nature of the club, particularly liking the yearly Operation Christmas Child food drives. As a junior, Crozier decided she wanted to get more involved, so she ran and was elected as club secretary. As a senior, she moved up to the role of president.

“Being secretary kind of helped me get a taste of what it would be like to actually be leading it,” she said. “I was really close with the president and vice president at the time. They kind of showed me the ropes.”

As Beta Club president, Crozier said her organizational and communication skills were tested every day.

Setting up events required reaching out and coordinating with many members of the Lanier Christian Academy community, activities that Crozier said have led to a great amount of personal growth.

“Sometimes it’s hard for me to get out of my comfort zone and do stuff like that,” she said. “That experience has really helped me be able to do that in other areas of my life.”

As Crozier grew to be more outgoing, she also made a mark on the arts at Lanier Christian Academy.

As a junior, she and a couple of her friends advocated for the start of a theater program at the school. Crozier has been integral to the program over the past two years, most recently starring as Jo in the school’s winter production of “Little Women.”

“I’ve always loved musicals and theater,” she said. “My mom helped me get involved in all that, because she’s kind of the same way. I just love music, and I think the performing arts are so powerful and so important to our world today.”

Crozier said that although social interaction was often stressful for her growing up, performing has always been a way for her to open up.

“I’m able to find an outlet for myself when I’m on stage,” she said. “It’s a way to express myself that I’m not always able to do because I am more quiet.”

Crozier plans on attending Samford University after graduation, where she has earned scholarships both for her academics and from Chick-fil-A, where she’s worked for the past three years.

She will be studying English and hopes to one day get into the publishing or editing business.

And while she has some nerves about moving on to college, Crozier said she feels fully prepared for the next step in life thanks to the influence that Lanier Christian Academy has had on her.

“I’ve definitely grown in my leadership skills,” she said. “I’ve gotten lots of great friends there.

I’ve learned how to talk to people, social skills, all that stuff. I’ve just been able to get really close to all my teachers and all my friends because it is a private school.

They’ve all made such an impact on my life.”

‘Sometimes it’s hard for me to get out of my comfort zone and do stuff like that. ...

I’m able to find an outlet for myself when I’m on stage. It’s a way to express myself that I’m not always able to do because I am more quiet.’ Rebekah Crozier

PABLO YESAKI SERRATO, RIVERSIDE MILITARY ACADEMY ‘I never really saw myself as someone people would follow.

But now I have more selfrespect. I’m way more organized, both in my daily life and in my room physically.

Riverside has played so many big roles in my life.’

Learning about leadership from example, experience

BY NATHAN BERG

nberg@gainesvilletimes.com Pablo Yesaki Serrato never saw himself as a leader before enrolling at Riverside Military Academy.

Yesaki Serrato grew up in Monterrey, Mexico — where he still lives with his parents when not attending the Gainesville boarding school — but he wanted to attend military school to follow in the steps of his grandfather and improve himself. When he first arrived at the school in eighth grade, Yesaki Serrato dedicated himself to being as loyal a follower as he could be, constantly obedient and responsive to orders. But the commanding of-

ficer of his company of seventh and eighth graders, known as Alpha company, made an impression on Yesaki Serrato and inspired him to strive for leadership.

“He was kind,” Yesaki Serrato said. “He was direct. He knew when to give instructions. He knew when to be scary. I just saw him as a big brother figure, and I wanted to be that. I wanted to become that big brother figure that would care for others and that others would look up to as well.”

Five years later, Yesaki Serrato has achieved that goal.

He was commanding officer for Alpha company in his senior year and also will graduate as class vale-

dictorian with a 4.21 GPA. Along the way, Yesaki Serrato has learned a thing or two about leadership.

As he rose through the ranks in the school, Yesaki Serrato figured out that being a good leader is all about striking the right balance between friend and mentor. Through trial and error, he learned that younger kids respect an officer who is kind but not overly lenient, friendly but also serious when he needs to be.

Making personal connections with every member of his company was the best way Yesaki Serrato found to learn and grow.

“I learned that leadership isn’t

just about sitting down and giving orders,” he said.

Yesaki Serrato’s time in command of Alpha company has even had a major impact on his career goals.

He will be attending the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education this fall, with plans to one day become a teacher.

Yesaki Serrato said he now has a passion for being a role model for younger kids.

He also has a commitment to learning that led him to his valedictorian status at the school.

Yesaki Serrato said he plans on studying everything from math and science to music and philosophy at university.

“I never want to stop learning,” he said.

After graduating from college, Yesaki Serrato said he may move back to the United States, but nothing is set in stone yet.

He’s not sure exactly where his studies will take him, but Yesaki Serrato is certain the mark left on him by Riverside will be permanent.

“Before I went to Riverside, I wasn’t too sure about what I did, why I did it,” he said. “I never really saw myself as someone people would follow. But now I have more self-respect. I’m way more organized, both in my daily life and in my room physically. Riverside has played so many big roles in my life.”
