Wallace-Rose Hill High School - Geneva Gelbhaar
BIOGRAPHY: Hello, my name is Geneva Gelbhaar. I am a graduating member of the class of 2024 saying my final goodbyes to an amazing four years of memories at Wallace Rose Hill High School as I begin a new chapter in my life. I am one of eight children, three of which were unofficially adopted into our family, they kind of just hung around so much they became part of the family. High school, although hectic, has been some of the best years of my life. I have learned how to be a productive member of society, I’ve made new friends, and learned who I am as a person. I have had amazing teachers throughout high school, all of which I am truly grateful for and some of which are my inspiration for going into the field of education. In the fall, I plan to attend UNC Greensboro where I will obtain a degree in mathematics education. Of which that degree will be utilized to come back to Duplin County to teach at my high school. I am thankful for the inspiration and support my family, friends, and teachers have given me as I have made this decision.

James Kenan High School - Tristan Diaz
BIOGRAPHY: My name is Tristan Diaz and I am currently attending James Kenan High School in Warsaw, NC, and dual-enrolled at James Sprunt Community College. I have two older sisters, one pursuing cosmetology, and the other currently attending Appalachian State University. As for me, I played football from fifth grade up until the end of my senior year, and I did it despite being hard of hearing and having a hearing aid implanted when I was in eighth grade. I also participated in track in field, making it all the way to regionals in my junior year. At home, have two cows that I take care of, which were quite a hassle when they were calves. Now, in the fall of 2024, I plan to attend North Carolina State University at the College of Engineering. Going to live somewhere besides the rural county of Duplin is exciting, and I can’t wait to see what people I meet and what things I learn!
