Ellis is leaving Dublin High School with a litany of accomplishments and resume-builders.
Eliis serves as the school's student body president, captain of the Varsity tennis team, president of the Senior Beta Club, woodwind section leader in the Marching Band, an active member of the Math Team and was voted as the school's 2024 Homecoming King. He also received the University of Georgia Certificate of Merit for being in the top 10% of his class.
