The Record Newspapers - Hometown News For Orange County, Texas

The Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce had the honor of presenting a certificate

for Student of the Month for Bridge City High School to Keagan Smith, son of Brad and

Johnna Smith. “Keagan has been an irreplaceable member of the Bridge City Band for seven

years. He is a wonderful student, an outstanding student leader, and a gifted musician. He

will leave a legacy for his younger peers to maintain, and his character is second to none.

He has been a pleasure to know and work with over the years.” -Tami Goss, Director of

Bands. “Keagan is an outstanding student and a keen observer of life. I have enjoyed

watching Keagan observe and analyze the current happenings in the world and his

immediate surroundings. In combination with his already acquired knowledge, he reaches

new understandings and applies this to novel situations. He makes impactful decisions that

empowers him to meet new challenges. I have enjoyed watching Keagan grow and mature

with new perspectives as he faces life's challenges, and I am looking forward to watching

Keagan continue to grow and mature as he begins new adventures outside BCHS.” -

Shannon King, History Teacher. “Keagan Smith is absolutely one of my favorite students

because his passion for learning radiates determination for excellence. He focuses on

accuracy and details as well as perceives a holistic approach to thinking. Being an

extraordinary writer, Smith earned a 4 on the AP Language and Composition Exam, and his

essay work exudes passion and eloquent syntax.” One might see Keagan playing the

saxophone in symphonic band, competing in various UIL academic events, or generously

offering his time to help his peers. His gentlemanly qualities demonstrates a positive

influence on others uncompromising his morals and integrity just as a knight in shining

armor full of valor and honor. I am so proud of Keagan, and I am honored to teach him.

HUZZAH, SMITH!” -Cathy Riley, English Teacher. Congratulations Keagan Smith!
