Merlin Waylon Tucker was born on December 11, 2005. Merlin’s parents are Eric Tucker, Crystal Tucker, and Dallas Clark. He has three siblings: Ashley, Jasper, and Ivy. His favorite teacher is Mr. Ridings because “He is hilarious.” When asked what staff quote has stuck with him throughout high school he stated, “Yabadabadooee” -Ryan Layton. Three words he would use to describe him are: funny, caring, and clown. His favorite high school memories are all the fun shenanigans in Mr. Ridings Advisory. His most embarrassing high school memory is “Literally every time where accidental eye contact takes place.”
When Merlin was a child, he wanted to be a Pizza Maker when he grew up! After high school Merlin wants to go into the Military and see where that takes him. Merlin participates in Track and Field and Cross Country. Marlin’s advice to underclassmen is “You’re not funny. You really are not.” When asked how he feels about graduating he said he felt “Liberated and Free.” After high school Merlin will miss some of the best people he’s met. His biggest accomplishment so far is sticking with Cross Country for as long as he has.
