By: Shawna Madison Shawna Madison has fond memories of her years at MPHS Shawna Madison is a senior at MPHS. Her favorite class this year is Publications because she gets to help create the yearbook. My favorite memory of high school was white washing with my class, says Shawna. If she could pass on one thing to the underclassmen it would be that they need to do what they have to do to succeed late on in life because it will pay off. Her biggest role model is her mom. Her mom has pushed her to work hard and do the best that she can. She has also taught Shawna that hard work pays off. Shawna plans on attending BHSU for her first four years and major in pre- dentistry. She then will go to school out of state for another four years to pursue predentistry.
