Misty Bellard, Technology Teacher, said, “Jezlyn Matlock is the quiet kid in the room. She is the one always on task. She is the one always producing the best product she possibly can. She works extremely hard toward perfection and hits the mark most of the time. I taught Jezlyn in Business Information Management 1 her freshman year and was super excited to see she had signed up to take the second-year course this year. She may be quiet, but she is also very kind. She has a very bright future ahead of her.”
