Alyana Warren, 2025 Senior

Alayna Warren will be a 2025 graduate of Alton. Alayna has been involved in several organizations and activities, including Beta Club, FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), and FCCLA (Family Career and Community Leadership or America). She also plays basketball. These commitments have helped her grow as a leader, foster community connections, and enhance her personal development. 

Her favorite high school memory is when she was attending Beta Convention during her sophomore year. Her friends and she had connecting hotel rooms, which made the experience even more enjoyable. They shared countless laughs, created amazing memories, and strengthened their friendship throughout the event. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with other members and immerse herself in the spirit of Beta Club, making it a highlight of her high school journey. The classes Alayna enjoyed the most were Biology because she loved the fascinating insights that biology provides into living organisms, English because it has helped her develop her communication skills, and Body conditioning classes because she got to spend time with friends and create great memories. These classes have made her high school experience memorable and rewarding.

Outside of school, Alayna enjoys a variety of hobbies that allow her to unwind and connect with nature. Hunting is a passion of hers, as it offers a thrilling challenge and a chance to spend time outdoors. She also loves hanging out with her friends and creating lasting memories together. Going to the lake is another favorite pastime: whether she is boating or just relaxing by the water, it’s the perfect way to enjoy the beauty of nature and recharge.

Three words that best describe her are driven, passionate, and adventurous.

After high school, Alayna plans to pursue a career as a labor and delivery nurse. She is excited about this shift because it allows her to support families during one of the most important moments of their lives, combining her desire to care for others with her interest in healthcare.

In 10 years, she sees herself successfully graduating from nursing school and establishing her career as a labor and delivery nurse. She also hopes to be married, have built her dream home, and start a family.

Three things on her bucket list are traveling the world to experience different cultures and landscapes, building her dream home that reflects her personality and values, and witnessing the breathtaking beauty of the Northern Lights. 

The person she admires the most is her mom. She has always been a source of inspiration for her, demonstrating incredible strength, resilience, and compassion in everything she does. Her ability to balance work and family while supporting others has taught Alayna the importance of hard work and dedication. Alayna aspires to emulate her mom’s values and approach to life as she pursues her own goals.
