Class of 2022 Senior Spotlight
Kalissa Barnes
Kalissa will be using her CNA certification she earned here at Chireno to work as a CNA this summer while attending Angelina College to become a registered nurse. Her most memorable moment in high school was the senior trip to Galveston. She stated that she never thought she would go to the beach with her whole class. Kalissa's advice would be to cherish every moment until the day you graduate. Time flies and the last four years have gone by pretty fast. Her most impactful educator was Mrs Scarborough.
