Jonesboro ISD is please to announce the Class of 2020 Valedictorian, Raiah Reed. Raiah is the daughter of Kristie Khairi.  She participated in softball and informative speaking UIL. She plans on attending the University of Houston - Clear Lake to major in  Mechanical & Electrical Engineering. Raiah also has plans to join the Navy after she graduates college. 

In  five years she hopes to be freshly enlisted in the Navy, going through boot camp. In  ten years she hopes to be married and working on naval ships.

Her favorite high school memoir is spending time with the people I call friends and consider family. I've never been one for specifics. Life isn't about specific moments. 

Raiah, we are very proud of all of your hard work earning this academic honor.  Your dedication to your education has never gone unnoticed by the staff at Jonesboro ISD.  It has been our pleasure to be a part of your high school education.
