Davis distinguishes himself both in and out of the classroom with his profound interest in computer graphics and editing, according to his nomination from Flour Bluff ISD. "Josh is awesome because he goes out of his way to check in with people and see how they are doing," said teacher Lauren Gow, highlighting his exceptional character and altruism. "He is always open to helping others. For example, he helped a fellow classmate carry her large project from the front desk to its destination, no questions asked. I try to live by Josh's lifestyle of being respectful, caring, and open to learn from anyone."
