Molded by Morehead
As he was growing up, Hatcher H. spent plenty of time at his family’s 150 acre cattle farm in Martinsville, Virginia. In many ways, time spent there represents the source of Hatcher’s work ethic and approach to life. He frequently shared meals there with extended family, and he often lent a hand with daily chores. Now, Hatcher is a confident senior at Morehead High School and preparing to embark upon the first steps towards a bright future.
Because of his upbringing, Hatcher is resourceful and comfortable with hard work. Instead of remaining idle during the pandemic, he decided to make the most of the newfound free time. When COVID-19 wrenched Morehead students from classrooms and isolated them from one another, Hatcher mobilized resources at his disposal to found a lawn care business. Since then, his clients have grown to 17 weekly yards, and his employees now include a few friends from Morehead.
Hatcher is involved in Student Council, Varsity Football, and Varsity Baseball. He is also a member of the Eden City Youth Council and the youth program at Trinity Wesleyan Church. After graduating from high school, Hatcher will attend Western Carolina University to study business administration and pre law studies. His ultimate goal is to become a sales manager and eventually own rental properties.
In addition to sports, Hatcher’s favorite memories also derive from Ms. Smith’s AP U.S. History class, especially her endless collection of hilarious stories. When he leaves Morehead, Hatcher wants to “leave behind a positive impact…this school has done so much for me.” He is grateful for his friendships and the opportunity to represent Morehead through athletics.
