Greetings Golden Bull Family! I am Katona Thomas-Briggs, a proud member of The Magnificent Class of 2006! I am a 3rd generation graduate of E.E. Smith (Paternal grandmother, class of 1957; Three aunts, classes of 1984, 1986 and 1987, respectively; mother and father, both class of 1990; Siblings, classes of 2009, 2013, 2015, 2019, and 2021 respectively). The admiration, love and loyalty I have for this institution runs deep. I am excited about the direction we're currently going as an alumni association and I can't wait to see what's in store! #GoldenBullPride
