D. H. Conley High School - Collin Bullard
BIOGRAPHY: My name is Collin Bullard and I am a senior at D. H. Conley High School in Greenville, North Carolina. I have attended D. H.

I love to be active, read, and play with my dog. I plan to attend either the United States Naval Academy or participate in Pitt Community College and East Carolina University’s RIBN Program for nursing. I plan to help others and make a difference in others’ lives, no matter where I attend.
