At just 12 years old, Lyla Jones is already laying a strong foundation for success both in and out of the classroom. A student at Bonham Middle School, Lyla has lived in the community most of her life and values what makes it special — a friendly city where people are kind and supportive.

Lyla stays busy with a variety of interests that keep her active and creative. From playing sports like tennis to making art or playing a competitive game of Monopoly, she enjoys activities that help her relax and recharge.

Among all her activities, tennis is her clear favorite. For Lyla, the sport is about more than just competition. It gives her the chance to meet new people, make friends, and enjoy every moment on the court. The mix of teamwork, learning new skills, and staying active keeps her motivated to keep improving.

Academically, Lyla is equally committed. She proudly maintains A-plus grades and particularly enjoys social studies, a subject that ignites her curiosity about the world. Whether in school or sports, she values learning and considers each experience an opportunity to grow. Instead of focusing solely on wins or results, Lyla takes pride in learning something new every day — a mindset that shows both maturity and determination.

One of Lyla’s biggest inspirations is her mom, whom she admires for always being there to support and encourage her. That consistent encouragement has helped shape Lyla’s confidence and strong work ethic as she pursues her goals.

Looking ahead, Lyla has clear ambitions. Inspired by her dad, she hopes to become a dermatologist someday, blending hard work in school with her interest in helping others.

Outside of school and sports, Lyla enjoys cheering for the Texas Longhorns, listening to music by Forrest Frank and Queen, and watching favorites like Harry Potter movies and the TV show Henry Danger. Hamburgers are her favorite food, and Hawaii is her favorite vacation destination.

With her positive attitude, academic dedication, and passion for trying new things, Lyla Jones is a young achiever who keeps making the most of every opportunity while inspiring her community.
