School: Okemos High School

T’gan Robinson, daughter of Mr. Lester and Mrs. Niki Robinson, represented Okemos High School with pride and gratitude. Reflecting on her four years of high school and her journey as a debutante, she developed a deep appreciation for building a community based on love and sharing. Through the Les Meres et Debutantes Club, she formed meaningful friendships with her debutante sisters and learned the importance of service and genuine connections.

Being the only daughter in her family, the debutante experience taught T’gan unconditional love and allowed her to experience sisterhood. During her senior year, she remained committed to serving her community and sharing her experiences with her debutante sisters.

T’gan volunteered extensively throughout her school district and alongside her debutante sisters in the Lansing area, experiences that strengthened her dedication to service. She planned to attend Lansing Community College to complete her prerequisites before transferring to an HBCU such as Spelman College or Howard University. Her ultimate goal was to become a cardiovascular surgeon, a career through which she could continue helping others, a pursuit that brought her great joy. She was escorted by Mr. Warren Reeves, a senior at Okemos High School and the son of Ms. Rachel Reeves.
