Since joining Flour Bluff ISD in 7th grade, Lola Fisher has become a standout Hornet both on and off the court. What she loves most about her school is the strong sense of community.
“It’s like a family here,” Fisher said. “Even people who don’t have kids in the district anymore still support us. You can go anywhere with a Flour Bluff shirt, and people know who you are.”
Fisher is deeply involved in extracurriculars such as, National Honor Society (NHS) and Spanish Honor Society (SNHS). Fisher is also involved in several leadership positions serving as a captain on the volleyball team. Her favorite memory? Winning the State Championship. Those experiences have taught her discipline, time management, and perseverance.
“It was amazing doing it in front of everyone who supported us and with my best friend by my side,” Fisher said.
Fisher’s favorite subject is math, and she credits teachers like Ms. Palm, Mr. Galesby, Ms. Pshigoda, Coach Johnson, and Ms. Aggus for inspiring her along the way.
“Ms. Pshigoda connects with her students on a level where she is able to not just give literature advice but also on advice for their futures, she is a very personable and loving person.”
Outside of school, Fisher enjoys going to the beach, watching sunrises, shopping, and trying new drinks like matcha or chai.
“I love discovering new things and finding beauty in different experiences,” Fisher said
After graduation, Fisher will attend UT Dallas to play college volleyball and major in mechanical engineering.
“I want to reward my mom for everything she’s done for me, and engineering lets me keep creating and solving problems,” Fisher said.
Lola hopes to be remembered as someone who was kind and welcoming to everyone. Her advice to younger students:
“Be kind to everyone. You never know how much of an impact a simple smile can make.”
For Lola, high school can be summed up in three words: Stressful, balanced, and community.
“It’s stressful because there are a lot of expectations in high school and how you perform directly affects your future. You have to work really hard and learn to find balance in school and community.”
