A dream coming true--Katelynn Butler has known since eighth grade that she wanted to become a game warden. Through dual enrollment opportunities, that goal is becoming a reality. When Butler graduates next year, she will leave high school with both her high school and Fish and Wildlife Management diplomas. In the meantime, Butler is savoring dual enrollment classroom experiences, volunteering at the Public Fishing Area, and serving as a student representative on the Evans Region College and Career Academy Board. We are proud of Katelynn! #TheDEN
