Isabella Williams is the daughter of Robert and Melinda Williams. She played volleyball all four years of high school as well as played on a volleyball club team for three years. Isabella is a member of Interact Club serving as secretary during her senior year. She competed on the UIL Number Sense team and the UIL Spelling and Vocabulary team, which placed in regionals. Isabella was elected to Mu Alpha Theta and to NHS and volunteered regularly tutoring other students. She received the Letter of Commendation for her PSAT scores and took part in the DAR contest. During her

time at Flour Bluff High School, Isabella earned the Pre-AP Geometry, Pre-AP Spanish III, UIL Spelling and Vocabulary, AP US History, and Pre-AP Pre-Calculus Hornet Awards. Outside of school, Isabella has volunteered with the Gulf Coast Humane Society and its neonatal shelter, raising and feeding newborn kittens. Working with her middle school coach, Isabella helped at a summer volleyball camp for 3rd through 8th graders. This fall, Isabella will attend Rice University to study chemical and biomolecular engineering.

Katherine Jane Anderson is the daughter of Sherri and Kevin Anderson and sister of Matt (Class of 2015) and Emmie (Class of 2016). She attended St. James Episcopal School before transferring to FBHS. Eager to challenge herself academically, Katie has excelled in both Advanced Placement and Dual Credit classes. She enjoys being involved, making a difference, and working with a variety of people. Selected to both National Honor Society and Mu Alpha Theta Honor Society, she dedicated herself to both organizations and served as NHS Vice President. Likewise committed to the Interact Club, she acted as Secretary and later President. Katie has proudly represented the Class of 2020 as Secretary for three years and was a member of the Flour Bluff Volleyball Team. She has received numerous Hornet Awards during high school and recently was honored with both the PEO Star Scholarship and the Coastal Bend Community Foundation Scholarship. Demonstrating her involvement in her community, Katie has regularly volunteered at the Food Bank of Corpus Christi and Tacos Not Bombs. After enjoying seven summers as a camper at Camp Mystic in the beautiful hill country, Katie is looking forward to returning as a counselor this summer. This fall, Katie will be a proud member of the University of Texas at Austin, Class of 2024. Admitted to the McCombs School of Business, she plans to seek a degree in either Supply Chain Management or Finance. Hook ‘em Horns!
