Meet Keegan Lathum, a senior at Curry High School whose talents shine both on and off the field. Keegan excels as a two-sport athlete, making his mark as a tight end in football under Coach Jace Cordell and as a right fielder in baseball with Coach Jonas Barnett.

But Keegan’s achievements aren’t limited to athletics. He is an outstanding student with a special interest in history, his favorite subject. A proud member of the Beta Club and a dedicated Peer Helper, Keegan upholds an impressive 3.8 GPA.

As he approaches graduation in May 2025, Keegan plans to pursue certification as a welder. He chose this path for its stability and versatility, explaining, “It will always be needed, and you can find a job anywhere you go.”

Keegan is the son of Vonda Lathum.
