EDITOR, THE FRIDAY FLYER
Don’t let that cute face fool you. Katlyn Edwards is a bright, serious, academically- and athletically-driven student who aspires to become a civil engineer . . . “full of philosophical ques- tions and crazy ideas.”
A senior at Temescal Canyon High School, Katlyn is the daughter of Terri and Kevin Edwards. Born and raised in Canyon Lake, she was Wee Miss Can- yon Lake Talent in 2004 and Little Miss Canyon Lake Talent in 2006. She was involved with Cotillion in 2009 and 2010, and has been an artist with Anita Harris in the Art Association’s Home Studios Tour from 2012 to 2014.
One of her nominator’s writes:
“Katlyn is truly a pleasure to have as a student because she is an individual who automatically brightens the atmosphere with her engaging personality. She is an extremely hard worker and very respon- sible when it comes to her studies. She has challenged herself to take rigorous courses at TCHS where she carries a higher than a 4.0 GPA and is in the top five percent of her class.
“As motivated and driven as Katlyn is academically, you will find her apply- ing the same qualities in her involvement outside of the classroom as well. Katlyn has competed at the varsity level for both the (TCHS) Volleyball and the Track/ Field programs since her freshman year, and has served as a captain of both.
“She is an active member of Student Leadership and has taken the lead on
organizing events to promote school spirit, including man- aging the student section, the ‘Blue Hole.’”
“Outside of school, she has taken her love for sports and donated her time to coaching with the Special Olympics or- ganization. Katlyn has a pure and caring heart, and it is amaz- ing to see the work she has done with Special Olympics through- out her high school career . . .
“Katlyn is an example of
an exceptional ‘well-rounded’
youth that Canyon Lake and
myself as a resident of Canyon
Lake would be proud to have
representing our city . . . She
was born and raised in Canyon
Lake and is a ‘true’ Canyon Gifted both academically and athletically, Katlyn

and humility.”
With regard to Katlyn’s academic
qualifications, another nominator com- ments, “Academically, Katlyn is abso- lutely outstanding. She is able to grasp complex engineering concepts quickly. She easily applies core subject knowl- edge from her math and science classes to engineering problems . . . One of her best qualities academically is her thirst to learn more and acquire new skills. When she finishes her work ahead of time, she takes the opportunity to learn more and develop her engineering skills further. Katlyn is not the kind of student who settles for ‘good enough.’”
“As a student and peer in the class-
room, Katlyn is a shining star . . . She is attentive, inquisitive, excited to learn and appreciates the effort her teach- ers put into their classrooms. Katlyn is looked up to by her peers due to her aca- demic skills, but also due to her friendly, understanding and patient attitude when it comes to tutoring and helping others in the class.
“Quite honestly, I cannot say enough good things about this amazing young woman. I fully expect to hear nothing but great things from her in the future. With her commitment, drive, attitude and passion, there is no limit to what she can achieve.”
