Her fondest high school memories were noted as follows:

"This is hard because there were so many great and lasting memories from my high school days. If I had to choose one, I would say I'll never forget the fireworks night on our Senior Class trip at Disney. That trip combined everything that I loved: fun, travel, new experiences, friends and memories. I recorded those feelings forever and told my friends that it wouldn't be like this always. They were so ready and excited to graduate ( I was too) but I knew we would never get those moments back. Some are no longer with us. I had that reality in that moment and was just thankful for the times we shared".


Best Advice for Current Students

"Plan and work for your future now. Yes, enjoy yourselves and live your best high school and young adult days, but trust me, they go by quickly. You will want to have planned for your following years, when you realize that high school days were your set up for your future endeavors, happiness and success. My dad always told us you'll either kick or thank your younger self one day. I listened, I enjoyed, I planned and I worked hard too".


Mrs. Foxworth is a double graduate of the University of South Carolina and the University of South Carolina School of Law. Upon graduating from law school, she practiced for 4 years and then opened her own law firm in 2007 at 580 Hwy 701 N., Loris, SC.
