Theater teacher Brandon Riley walks with sophomore Gloria Manning, followed by other theater students. It wasn’t like we were just doing it cause we were in ISS, we were doing it because we wanted to. He even said we could sit down if we didn’t want to do it...I grabbed the glove, Manning said.

Jay Mitchell, freshman, lived with her mom ever since her mom got a divorce with Jay’s dad. After that, Jay’s mom got laid off of work and after that moved in with Jay’s grandmother. “The place that she [her grandmother] lives in is horrible. There’s roaches and rats. I used to sleep on the couch and on the couch the roches would crawl on me and rats would be on me when I was sleeping. All I would do was flick them off and go back to sleep, even though I was kind of scared, because rats and roaches are on me,” Mitchell said. After that Mitchell’s mom decided they should leave and go live in a hotel.

Shane McDaniel, senior, just after winning Prom King. I was just really proud of my school for supporting me in things that Ive never done before, and they support the whole trans community, said McDaniel. I want people to know that theyre not alone, and they should stand up for who they are and not be afraid to come out as the person they truly are.
