They say that 80% of success is just showing up, but for Mountain Ridge senior Anthony Nichols, showing up is an absolute lifestyle.
As we wrap up the academic year, Mountain Ridge High School is proud to shine a special spotlight on Anthony for a truly monumental personal milestone. Throughout his entire educational journey—spanning thirteen consecutive years from Kindergarten all the way to his 12th-grade graduation—Anthony has never missed a single day of school. To go your entire life without a single absence, navigating every early morning, busy winter season, and hectic schedule change, requires an extraordinary level of grit, resilience, and reliability. Anthony truly embodies the core of what it means to be Sentinel STRONG.
Honoring Our Annual Full-Year Champions Anthony isn't the only student who set a flawless standard of dependability this year. We are incredibly proud to celebrate an elite group of dedicated Sentinels who achieved a perfect 100% attendance rate for the entire 2025-2026 school year!
