For one Western Hills senior, years of work in the classroom and on the field have come together in a moment worth celebrating.

Alexander Richmond has been recognized as a 2026 High School Scholar-Athlete by the National Football Foundation and the College Hall of Fame, through its Gridiron Club of Dallas chapter. The honor highlights student-athletes who stand out not only for their performance on the field but also for their commitment to academics and leadership.
