Gavin Wride:

Avid surfer, excellent student, president of CHS, talented musician, and now, Homecoming prince, Gavin Wride is well known around campus as a funny and thoughtful character. Throughout his time at CHS, Wride has made the most of his time with great friends and memories.

Wride hopes to attend either Brigham Young University at Provo or Idaho, and is also interested in attending University of Utah after going on a mission trip with his church. For Wride, the sky’s the limit as to what he will do when he is older; however, he is interested in anything to do with aerospace engineering, music, and writing.

Wride is also very dedicated to his school work, and is a hard-working student who stands steadfast in his moral beliefs. As it is his last year of high school, Wride has gained much wisdom and would like to let the underclassmen know that.

“It’s okay if you can’t do an assignment perfectly, and don’t be too stressed out about school because everything will work out in the end. But you still need to work hard and try your best in all that you do. Have some fun while you’re in high school since it will only get more challenging from here,” Wride said.

Aside from his responsibilities in school, Wride’s biggest passion is music. He has been in band since fifth grade and has continued to play throughout his entire high school career. Whether listening to music, playing an instrument, or writing his own songs, he enjoys music and playing around with friends in his band (they will be in Battle of the Bands so you should check them out). When he has the time, Wride also finds pleasure in surfing and spending time with his father.

“My familial role model is my dad because he’s a really smart guy and super fun. And I want to grow up to be as good of a dad to my kids as he was to me,” Wride said.

From working hard in his tough classes to having his greatest memories with his “squad” in his AP comp class, Wride is always making sure that he is performing as well as he can while having the best time he can. As his last piece of advice, Wride advises everyone that it is more important to show that you care about a person you love rather than focus on the little problems you have with that person.
