Brooks is the son of Lisa and John Mullen. He attended Roswell High School and will graduate in May 2026. Brooks has been accepted into the University of Georgia, where he plans to study International Affairs.

Brooks has been a well-rounded student, excelling academically — particularly in Japanese, Psychology, and Economics — while engaging in sports and a wide range of intellectual extracurricular activities. He has served in numerous leadership roles in student government and philanthropic organizations, and has gained real-world experience working at Chick-fil-A and Onelife Fitness.

Madalyn is the daughter of Rev. Nancy Folsom and Michael Lee Lane. She attended Normal Community High School in Illinois and will graduate in May 2026.

Leadership, Service & Faith

Madalyn has built an exceptional academic record, earning induction into the Spanish, National, and Illinois Music Honor Societies while excelling across multiple Honors and AP courses. As a four-year varsity lacrosse captain, she has earned the Big Twelve Conference Scholar-Athlete Award three consecutive years and the IHSA Scholastic Achievement Award twice.

Christian is the son of Susan and Rev. Jarrett Wallace. He will graduate from West Forsyth High School in May 2026 and will attend the University of North Georgia, where he plans to pursue a degree in International Affairs.

Christian has built a strong academic foundation, challenging himself with numerous AP courses including American Literature, Environmental Science, and Economics. Beyond the classroom, he has pursued his passions with remarkable dedication — earning Eagle Scout status before the start of his junior year and developing his skills as a rock climber.

Leadership, Service & Faith

What sets Christian apart is not just what he has achieved, but how consistently he turns his abilities into opportunities to lift others.

Jake is the son of Heather and Hatch Harmon. He will graduate from Roswell High School in May 2026 and will attend Georgia College and State University, where he plans to pursue a degree in Sports Management & Logistics.

Jake has been an outstanding student-athlete, challenging himself academically while committing fully to varsity football across all four years of high school. His character and consistency on and off the field have earned him some of the most meaningful recognitions Roswell High School and the region have to offer.

Leadership, Service & Faith

As a four-year letterman and Senior Team Captain, Jake led his teammates not just during games but in every area of life. His coaches and teammates voted him the 2025 Roswell Rotary Club Skipper Hoke Award — given to the Roswell High School football player who best exemplifies exceptional leadership throughout his career.

Mary is the daughter of Kacy and Matt Giles. Homeschooled through Liberty University Online Academy, Mary challenged herself academically at every turn — completing Honors and AP coursework in Statistics, Calculus, and American Government, earning an exceptional score on the SAT, and completing 30 hours of dual enrollment coursework through Kennesaw State University. She will graduate in May 2026 and has been accepted into the University of Georgia, where she will pursue a degree in Genetics.

Mary's path through high school looks different from many of her peers — and that difference is a strength. Navigating a homeschool environment while simultaneously taking college-level courses, working at Scooter's Coffee, performing with a competitive dance company, and serving her church required exactly the kind of self-direction, adaptability, and quiet leadership that defines who Mary is.

Leadership, Service & Faith

Mary earned her place in the Dance Stop Company through audition — a competitive honor in itself. As a company member, she gives up weekends for rehearsals and performances, including visits to assisted living facilities where the dancers bring joy to residents.

Walker is the son of Meg and Paul McClung. He will graduate from Fellowship Christian School in May 2026 and has been accepted to Wheaton College, where he will study Christian Formation and Ministry.

Beyond the classroom, he has competed in football, lacrosse, and wrestling, served in student government, and led on the debate team. He has been a Whisper Leader, Peer Leader, and Must Ministries volunteer, and has gained real-world experience working at Bruster's and Jimmy John's — where he was quickly recognized and promoted in both roles.

Leadership, Service & Faith

Walker's faith life has been equally full. He has served as an FCA Huddle Leader, Confirmation Leader, Small Group Leader, and RUMC Student Ministries Intern.
