CISD Graduate Spotlight: Simon Boehme of TWHS

THE WOODLANDS, Texas - “I’ll miss the teachers,” stated Simon Boehme, The Woodlands High School senior. “This school is unlike others. Many schools don’t have teachers who will stay two hours after school to help, but teachers do here,” said Boehme.

Simon, along with over 900 classmates, will say goodbye to his teachers as he walks across the Cynthia Mitchell Pavilion stage on Monday, June 2.

“Simon is a class favorite, and a student that leads by example. He is a positive role model for his soccer team, and he is the guy that friends turn to when they are in need of good, solid advice,” commented Kelly Stewart, TWHS counselor.

When asked about leaving high school, he replied, “Above all, I will miss my soccer teammates. We became brothers.” However, he is quite certain he will keep in touch with many of them.

Though he only moved to the United States three years ago, Simon transitioned to a new country, new school and athletic system with ease. After moving from Denmark, Simon devoted himself to raising his SAT and ACT scores and his GPA to gain entrance into a highly competitive university.

? “His enthusiasm, academic ability, determination, and ambition will not let him settle for less than the best,” said Stewart.

Simon has does everything but settle. He will be attending the highly respected California Polytechnic State University on an athletic scholarship in the fall where he plans to major in marketing.

“My dream is to be a professional soccer player and my aspiration is to major in business,” replied Simon.
