Lindsey Hazel Green was born July 3, 2007. Her parents are Cora Green and Jeremy Green. Lindsey has several siblings: Sidney, Gracie, JJ, Wesley, and Waylon.

Her favorite teachers are Mrs. Balzer and Ms. Braswell — they are always there when she needs someone to talk to.

Lindsey cherishes a quote from Mrs. Kinder during her senior year: "Make it make sense."

Three words that describe Lindsey are hardworking, dedicated and fearless.

If she could travel anywhere in the world, she would choose Colorado to see the mountains.

Lindsey’s favorite school memory is being in high school alongside her younger brothers, while her most embarrassing moment was when her entire grade got scolded by Mr. Kinder during freshman year.

As a child, Lindsey aspired to join the military, and she has since enlisted in the Missouri Army National Guard as a military police officer.

She advises underclassmen that the further you push yourself, the further you will go.

While Lindsey is excited about graduating, she is also sad about missing her friends, teachers and school dances.

The biggest influence in her life has been her mom, who taught her to be strong and never let anyone bring her down.

Lindsey's greatest accomplishment so far has been joining the military.

Shoutouts: Her mom in heaven, her siblings, and friends, Mike, Eli, Cecil, Seth, Braden, and Vickie.
