Congratulations to this year's band president!

Congratulations to Donoho Senior and Valedictorian Rishikesh Mukkamalla Reddy! Rishi will attend Johns Hopkins University this fall where he plans to study Biochemistry. One of Rishi’s favorite Donoho memories is spending time in the Senior Lounge and growing closer with his classmates during their final year together. His favorite Donoho traditions include Senior Celebration Day and the 100 Days Dinner. Reflecting on his time at Donoho, Rishi says his biggest takeaway is learning that surrounding yourself with the right people helps create balance. He also shares this advice for underclassmen: “Confidence in yourself is all you need!” Congratulations, Rishi! Your hard work has truly paid off, and we are so excited to see all that you accomplish in the future.

Congratulations to another one of our band seniors!

Congratulations to Donoho Senior Foster Cole Payton! Foster will be attending the University of Alabama in Huntsville, where he plans to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Aerospace Engineering. He is a recipient of the Saturn V Scholarship, the Elks National Lodge Scholarship, and the Kiwanis Club Scholarship. One of Foster’s favorite memories at Donoho is volunteering at the United Way Day of Action with Key Club and enjoying lunch afterward at Zinn Park. Foster shares that the most important takeaway from his time at Donoho is that “time management is essential, especially when trying to balance multiple extracurriculars.” Congratulations, Foster! We can’t wait to see what your future holds!
