This week's senior spotlight is on Joshua Tucker.
Josh has a grade-point average of 4.58 and is enrolled in AP Calculus, AP chemistry, AP government, honors American literature, French II, advanced jazz ensemble and wind ensemble.
Josh not only excels academically, but is also an integral part of Carson High School's band program. He has played the trumpet in the marching band, the wind ensemble and the advanced jazz ensemble since ninth grade.
In addition to his academic pursuits, Josh has played roller hockey with the Sierra In-line Hockey League for 11 years.
After graduation, Josh will be enlisting in the Marine Corps where he will attend the Navy School of Music. Upon completion of a six-month training program, Josh will become a member of one of the Marine Corps bands. We wish this multitalented student the best of luck in the future.
