She is a 3x state qualifier in tennis, as well as, a multi-time state qualifier through FFA. Laney plans to attend the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in the Fall. She has committed to play tennis for the UMHB Crusaders while working on her Biology major on the pre-dental track. Laney is thankful to her church family for the support and encouragement over her school career. She is very excited to see what God has planned for her future.

Jordan Lear is the son of Chris and Shiloh Lear and the younger brother of Jason, Dakota, and Crystal. Jordan has a creative spirit and a heart full of big dreams. Whether he’s treasure hunting at thrift stores and estate sales or designing something unique, he loves finding beauty and inspiration in unexpected places.

This fall, Jordan will attend Texas Woman’s University to study Fashion Design as he works toward his dream of becoming a Broadway costume designer someday. He hopes New York City is in his future and is excited for all the adventures waiting for him and his beloved Daisy as he steps out into the world.

Jordan has always loved being part of First United Methodist Church of Kaufman, where the members have always felt like an extension of his family. Their love and support over the years have meant so much to him. While he is excited to graduate and begin this new chapter, he will deeply miss the memories, friendships, and adventures he shared with the Kaufman ISD Theatre Company.

Jordan is incredibly thankful for the love, encouragement, and community that helped shape him into the person he is today.
