Kaden Graves, our May Senior of the Month, has made a lasting impact through his creativity and individuality during his time in high school. Kaden has dedicated himself to the arts, being an active member of the Art Club. Kaden has a strong appreciation for music, especially alternative rock, which inspires both his artistic style and daily life. After graduation, he plans to join his dad in the traveling business, with long-term goals of becoming a full-time artist who travels and creates. One of Kaden’s proudest high school achievements was winning Best of Show at the Prairieland Conference Art Exhibit. Outside of school, Kaden stays busy with a wide range of hobbies. He enjoys skateboarding, playing basketball, drawing, listening to music, biking, shopping, and fishing—always finding ways to stay active and creative. A fun fact about Kaden is that he traveled to three different states last summer. His favorite song is “Holding” by Slayr, and he lives by the quote: “Everything I’m not made me everything I am.” Some of the best pieces of advice he values is to “Think outside the box,” and “The world is bigger than your hometown,” a mindset that clearly shows in his artwork and approach to life. In ten years, Kaden sees himself living life as a full-time artist, traveling and continuing to grow his passion for creativity. Congratulations, Kaden, and we look forward to seeing your creativity out in the world!
