Introducing our Senior Spotlight Series, where we’re highlighting the Top 10 students from the DeSoto High School Class of 2026 in no particular order —starting with Simion Berryman, Jr.

Simion made the most of his time at DeSoto by challenging himself with courses like AP Calculus and AP Statistics, all while earning recognition through the National Society of High School Scholars. Along the way, he found inspiration in teachers like Dr. Becksmith, who encouraged him to aim higher.

Next up, Simion is enrolled at The University of Texas at Austin to study Computer Science and turn his love for problem-solving into a future in programming.

His advice is simple, "try new things, and take them one step at a time".
