With a remarkable 4.0 GPA, Dohn Knowles of Real Life Christian Academy has earned numerous accolades, including the Christian Character Award, the Science Award, and the Service Leadership Award, all while maintaining his place on the honor roll.

As Student Council president, he serves as a mediator between the school leaders and the student body, striving to be a voice for his peers. In addition, as the president of the Key Club, he hopes to create a community library with free access for all.

On the basketball court, he earned the Defensive Award in his sophomore year and now serves as team captain, demonstrating leadership and determination both on and off the court.

Dohn serves as the Sound Booth Media Director at his church, dedicating 4 hours a week for the past two years.  He also volunteers his time to help clean the cafeteria for 30 minutes after lunch every day.

In the future, this incredible young man says he will aspire to glorify God in everything that he does, to help those in need people in any situation, and to help sick people
