Tiffany Gomm, a sophomore here at Maple Mountain, is this week’s Prep of the Week. Gomm says she is excited and surprised about being chosen but is glad that her hard work is being noticed. Her favorite track event is hurdles. She likes to hurdle because she is good at it, she says, “They’re fun to do and most people don’t do them.”

She has been in track since the sixth grade and does it because it’s fun, a good stress reliever and you get to meet a lot of new people, including cute boys, and they soon become your best friend. Gomm is also the goalie on the JV soccer team.

Maple Mountain High school students of the month are Adriane Lowe, Madison Hurst, Jacob Henry, Blake Brown, Kimberly Jackson and Allison Eager.

Adriane Lowe -- Senior Adriane Lowe wants to major in Business Management and then she would like to work as a hospital administrator.  She likes rollerblading, snowboarding, painting, jogging, singing, cooking and swimming.
