Our next Warriors at Work spotlight brings us to Taylor Bynum (Hitchcock), Westside Class of 2010!

Thank you, Taylor, for sharing your journey and for the difference you make in the lives of our Westside students! Your dedication to helping others, continuing your education, and pursuing your dreams is a powerful example of lifelong learning. We are proud that your Warrior journey has brought you back to Westside, where you're helping inspire the next generation!
