Nicholas Bernard Clark was born on January 14, 2006. He is the son of Dallas Clark and grandson of Malcolm Clark. He has only one sibling, Victoria Clark. His favorite teacher is Mrs. Hinkle because “She’s been like a mom to me and all the Class of 2024 alike. She always gives us good advice and aims us towards the stars, all we have to do is take the initiative and pull the trigger.”
The three words Nicholas can describe himself are “Supportive, perseverance, and teammate.” If Nicholas could travel anywhere in the world he would travel to the Netherlands because of the Free Healthcare and because he can understand and speak some Dutch! His favorite school memory is “Chayce and I joking around for a semester in 7th grade art.” When Nicholas was a child, he wanted to be an Architect, he now plans to go further in his education in the Culinary Arts. Nicholas is a CTC Student Ambassador, and is parliamentarian for SkillsUSA, he also competes in Track and field. His advice to underclassmen is “If you go through high school trying to fit in, soon enough you lose yourself. Take those little chances you’re afraid of, find yourself.”
Nicholas feels that he is a bit afraid of graduation. Something he will miss about high school is being around his friends all the time. The person who has had the greatest influence on Nicholas was his Great-Uncle DJ. Nicholas stated “he was what made me fall in love with rock music and was the first father-figure in my life. Everything I do now is to make him proud up there.” Nicholas says that his greatest accomplishment so far is “being really skinny freshman year, then getting a little bit bigger sophomore year, being fat in my junior year, and getting jacked in my senior year. So, my biggest accomplishment would be going back and forth between extreme physiques.”
