TAFT, Texas â A local student is at the top of his class and intends to go to college after a tough loss for him and his family.
Michael Vara is a senior, first in his class at Taft High School, and expects to graduate as Valedictorian.
Being top of his class is only scratching the surface. He plans to go to Texas A&M Kingsville to study music on a scholarship after advancing to the UIL state level for four years in a row as a percussionist. He also loves to sing Country music.
