Conor Evans Earns BHS Senior of the Month

Congratulations to the May Senior of the Month, Conor Evans, sponsored by 988 Lifeline and Mental Health, Drug & Alcohol Services Board of Logan and Champaign Counties (MHDAS)!

Conor is a senior at Bellefontaine High School. Learn a little more about Conor, his accomplishments and future aspirations below!

Name: Conor Evans
Parents: Daniel and Danielle Evans

School activities and awards: Football, Wrestling, Most Improved Award, Chieftain Pride Award, and Sportsmanship Award.

If I were principal for a day: I would put a massive slip and slide through the hallways.

Favorite school memory: Wrestling in the Battle of 68 dual against Urbana at home my junior year and winning my match by a lateral drop.

People who have been an inspiration to me: My family and my coaches.

Lately I’ve been reading: Fallen Angels.

My advice to parents: Raise your kid to be the kind of person you want them to be and not how the world expects you to raise them. Also, value their dreams and goals because it's not your life but theirs to decide what they want to do.

My biggest regret: Looking at the bad in school like worrying about tests, projects, and homework and sometimes forgetting to value the great stuff like friendships, sports, and the memories you have in high school.

Next year: I will be working at Walmart.
