Attention Elementary Parents: PTO Cookie Dough Delivery is scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, November 19 from 3:30-5:30. Please make plans to pickup all items as there is no where to hold freezer items! If you have any questions please call the elementary and ask to speak to Jerri Williams.
Jaiden Sisco, set to graduate from Alton High School in 2025, is the son of Chester Dean Sisco and Kelly Marie Dalton. He shares a close bond with his siblings: Dawson Sisco, Caiden Dalton, Will Sisco, Kennedy Dalton, and Evan Sisco.
A cherished family pastime for Jaiden is playing "Name That Tune," also one of his favorite childhood memories is celebrating Christmas surrounded by all his brothers. Shopping ranks high on his list of enjoyable activities, as he loves acquiring new things. Jaiden is passionate about fitness outside of school and spends his free time at the gym. If granted one wish, he’d ask for a "very nice lamp." Jaiden describes himself in three words: motivated, handsome, and kind.
During his four years at AHS, Jaiden has been actively involved in Beta Club, FCCLA, choir, basketball, and track. Beyond academics and extracurriculars, Jaiden has made significant strides in his military journey, having enlisted in the National Guard as an 11B Infantryman and completing basic training. His favorite high school memory was going on the Beta trip during his sophomore year.
Throughout high school, Jaiden's favorite subject has been World History, largely thanks to his appreciation for his teacher, Mr. Warnock. He plans to attend Missouri State University in Springfield to pursue a business degree. In ten years, Jaiden envisions himself as a successful individual, achieving both personal and professional milestones.
On Jaiden’s bucket list are three goals: traveling, earning his E-5 military rank, and owning a fish in a fish tank. He holds deep admiration for his brothers, crediting them for shaping the person he is today. Coach Honeycutt stands out as a key mentor, whose unwavering support left a lasting impact on Jaiden’s high school journey.
As graduation approaches, Jaiden reflects on what he’ll miss most: seeing his friends each day at AHS. If there’s one way he’d like to be remembered, it’s as someone who was always a good friend, particularly to those who needed support. His advice for underclassmen is simple but meaningful: say good morning.
