Meet MVR-III alum Dillon Horn, Class of 2010. ๐
Dillon is a pastor and is most proud of becoming a credentialed minister and pastor.
Dillon says his time at MVR-III helped develop a fighting spirit and a never-give-up mentality. He learned to work hard for what he wanted and that he could accomplish anything he set his mind to.
One of Dillon's favorite memories is the District Championship football game against Bolivar during his senior year. Although the Indians did not win the game, the season marked the school's first winning football season in 25 years, thanks in part to Coach George Hinkle and his love for the game.
His advice for current students: APPLY YOURSELF!
