David Charles Thomson: NQHS Graduate

By: Abigail Koch

Many say some of the fondest memories you will ever have are from high school. It's a time for discovering who you are as a young adult and who you want to be. You begin to learn your strengths, weaknesses, and true passions. It's a time to meet new people and start fresh, creating an identity for yourself. Your high school becomes your second home for those four years you attend. Creating bonds with the peers, teachers, coaches, and staff.

It has been 8 years since David Charles Thomson walked the halls of North Quincy High. A lot has changed with both Thomson and NQHS, but a lot has remained. Thomson has achieved many things in his young life and credits it all to North Quincy High. Thomson is a graduate of the class of 2008, and a veteran.
