Bone, who received the Austin Silva Memorial Scholarship in honor of the much-beloved LHHS student who died in 2017, has served as a counselor at Camp Barnabas for children with special needs, earned the Cotton Award for work as a member of National Charity League and was nominated for Homecoming Queen. She was captain of the tennis team and vice president of student council, and she founded the Wildcat Chess Club.

Bone will attend Texas A&M University in the fall. Gig ‘em, Addie!
