  • Whiz kid’s key to awesomeness: “Regan worked extremely hard not only in academics, but also to promote good citizenship at our school,” said Lauren Wells, former assistant principal at South Lake High School. “Regan participated on the Diversity Council and she helped coordinate a number of activities that allowed students to get to know other students and highlight their strengths as individuals. One activity was the Mix-It-Up Lunch, in which all students were asked to sit with other students whom they many not have known for one lunch period.”
