Adison May Slaughter was born on June 6, 2007. She is the granddaughter of Teresa and Conrad Caldwell and has four siblings: Brexton, Peyton, Cole, and Zander. Adison's favorite teacher is Mr. Glaus because he “always keeps it real and shares his food with me.” Her favorite staff quote is from Mr. Ridings: “Yes, Adison was psycho, but she’s pretty okay now.” In three words, Adison would describe herself as aggressive, persistent, and sweet. If she could travel anywhere in the world, she would choose Salem, Massachusetts, during Halloween season because “they do Halloween like no one else.” Her favorite high school memory is the daily arguments she had with Mr. Glaus during seventh-hour Spanish class. Her most embarrassing high school moment was when her neck got stuck sideways for two weeks.
When Adison was little, she dreamed of either running away to join the circus or becoming a nurse. After high school, Adison plans to work for a while and eventually obtain her CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). Her advice to underclassmen is, “Actually try; it’ll be worth it, and you don’t want to get behind.” Adison feels very ready for graduation. What she will miss most about high school are her teachers and some of her sister’s friends. She believes that Mr. Shrum, Mrs. Balzer, and Mrs. Stegeman have had the greatest influence on her life. Adison considers her greatest accomplishment so far to be “passing all my classes, even if I cut it close every time.”
