| Natural born leaders aren’t everywhere in this world. But in this small town, Christian Rocha is a great example of a leader. Growing up Christian has always done the right thing, always set good examples and has always been liked by students and teachers. Doing the right thing is not always easy nor is setting good examples, but thats the thing about being a natural born leader, it may not be easy but its the right, good thing to do. Christian Richard Rocha son of Anne and Richard Rocha, was born on September 21, 1996. Growing up Christian went to school in Smyer where he attended from Pre-K to Sixth grade. He then moved to Guthrie. Christian has been a really big asset to Guthrie CSD, being involved in athletics, FFA, FCCLA and NHS. Always having a leadership role in many of the activities he participated in. Athletics was a big part of Christian’s role at Guthrie CSD, he played football, basketball and ran Cross Country and Track. One of Christian’s favorites memories was when he won a playoff basketball game for Guthrie for the first time in 16 years. After high school, Christian plans on going to college and getting a degree in Nursing. Always like seeing people in good healthy condition, and helping other people, Nursing will be a great field of job for him. With Christian’s hard work and determination, Christian will be able to do anything he sets his mind to. Guthrie CSD is very proud of him, and all of his accomplishments. We are glad he is going to further his education and is glad Guthrie is part of his life. |  |

 Many kids whose parents didn't attend a university aren't expected to go themselves, except for Brady Roberts. Brady will be one of the few to graduate college in his extended family. Not only is he going to South Plains in the fall, but he is planning on majoring in Nursing. There is no one in his family that is a nurse for him to look up to, so his decision to go into nursing was his own.
Brady Cole Roberts was born on August 21, 1997 to Jerry and Tina Roberts. He came to Guthrie in the beginning of his Junior year. Since then, he has participated in basketball, National Honor Society, FFA, and UIL. His favorite high school memory is when he started school here at GHS. His favorite class is Human A&P which has been preparing him for the long medical road ahead. Brady has a strong work ethic and strives to be successful. After he graduates this May, Brady plans to attend South Plains College to get his basics and then transfer in to Tech’s Registered Nurse program. His interests are anything in the medical field because that is the career path he will follow. This June, Brady applied to attend a four day medical camp in Levelland. During the camp, he will be learning all there is to know in the medical field. He will look in-depth at the latest technology and clinical simulation tools. The three things Brady really wants to do in his lifetime are travel the world, help as many people as possible and become a nurse practitioner. Guthrie is very proud to have a student like Brady, and we know he will go far in his nursing career.
On April 9th, the students at Guthrie CSD moved the school garden from on top of the hill to beside the activity center. From moving planter boxes to hauling dirt, the entire school worked as hard as they could. Even though school let out at lunch, the school got a lot of the work done that day. The participants were split up into teams so that each team could have a different job, and that worked exceptionally well.
