Dwayne DuBois, Athletic Director & Head Football Coach, said, “Tristan Bigler is a very dependable, committed and hard-working young man. Tristan consistently shows tremendous responsibility in all situations. He possesses high moral character, and this reflects in everything he does. There is no one who has met Tristan who doesn't walk away assured that he is genuine, considerate, compassionate, kindhearted, and courteous. Tristan truly is a friend to all. This makes Tristan one of the most valuable assets to any team and certainly to the athletic department as a whole.”

Tami Goss, Band Director, said, “Tristan Bigler is one of the most likable students I have ever had the honor to teach. He is every teacher's dream: dependable, hard-working, accountable, responsible, positive, respectful, and kind. I have the utmost respect for the manner in which he manages his involvement in several different organizations. He makes sure to meet the requirements while always putting his best foot forward. One of the qualities that I enjoy most about Tristan is that he treats both adults and his peers with the same respect.”

Diane Grooters, LEAP/Senior English Teacher, said, “I am delighted to be among the teachers that applaud and commend Tristan Bigler. Tristan is quiet and totally unassuming. He never deliberately draws attention to himself; however, his work ethic does that for him. His assignments are meticulously done and on time. His essays are creative, compelling and A's. He makes no excuses--just rises to whatever challenge he's given. Tristan will never need to boast—he will just quietly get the job accomplished.”

Hannah Landry, Math Teacher, said, “It is an absolute privilege having Tristian in Pre-Calculus this year. He is self-motivated and determined to do his best. His hard work is extremely evident in his academic success. His meek character, respectfulness, responsibility, and abilities will allow him to do whatever he sets his mind to!”

When Tristan was asked about his future plans, he said, “I plan to attend Sam Houston State University and major in business and sports management. After graduating college, I plan to manage a high school, college or professional sports team.”
