Lysandra Johnson, a senior at Flour Bluff High School, is a remarkable student who has made significant contributions to our school community. Lysandra has consistently achieved top grades and has been a dedicated member of the National Honor Society.
“My role in NHS is to complete service hours and to help around with the community and Flour Bluff High School,” Johnson said.
Johnson is deeply involved in extracurricular activities, especially basketball and art.
“I have been on the Varsity Basketball team playing as guard since my Junior year,” Johnson said. “I feel as if I play a role model to the incoming varsity basketball members,”
Outside of school, she participates in youth group activities at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS). These activities take place every Thursday.
“Our youth group volunteers for community services such as beach clean ups,” Johnson said. “As we come together, we not only strengthen our friendships but also our connection with God. Every moment shared reminds us that we are stronger when united in faith.”
Her hobbies include listening to indie, hip hop, nu metal, and Latin music. She loves exploring a wide variety of music genres in her free time.
In addition to her love for music, she loves artists like Billie Ellish, Twenty One Pilots, System Of A Down, Alex G, and Pink!
“Listening to Twenty One Pilots is like riding a wave of emotions– some songs lift me up with energy, some are soothing, and others bring a bittersweet sadness. Their music feels like a home, a place where I can be myself.”
When she isn’t playing basketball competitively or practicing, she spends time playing recreationally with her friends.
“I enjoy playing basketball with my friends any chance I get.” she said.
Johnson also takes an interest in arts & crafts -- specifically drawing and painting. To make her art, she uses supplies like colored pencils, pens, paint, watercolor, alcohol markers, yarn, pencils, and much more.
“I paint and draw whatever I feel like, ranging from my imagination to a photo reference,” she said.
Johnson’s favorite foods include pistachio ice cream and Kit Kats. Coincidentally, Kourtney Kardashian, a celebrity that she watches on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, also enjoys the sweet treat.
She also enjoys cooking and baking, she makes her pancakes unique as she doesn’t follow a recipe.
“I add cinnamon and nutmeg,” Johnson said. “ I also whip the egg whites so they come out extra fluffy.”
Beyond her personal interests, she is also an active member in the Flour Bluff community.
She has volunteered by cleaning the wetlands, the intermediate garden, beach clean ups, and Toys for Tots with her church.
