On an early spring day in 2006, April 19 to be exact, Aiden Leroy Borton was born to Brian Borton and Julie Jern. He has one sibling, brother Lucas Thomas. His grandparents are Lewis and Jacque Wordan and Thomas and Sharon Borton.
Nicknamed AB, Aiden is an original member of the Class of 2024. In high school, he participated in football, wrestling, track, and band. When he’s not busy with school, you’ll find Aiden either hanging out with friends or driving around.
Aiden’s most memorable happening was during his sophomore year. It seems that Michael Raines picked up a spider in the Moravia locker room and threw it on Tiane Cam.
His most embarrassing moment was when he lit a firework on a gravel road and it accidentally set a field on fire.
The people picked by Aiden for special recognition are his parents and grandparents for putting up with him. He also singled out Reean Seberg because he’s always been a great friend and is someone Aiden can always trust.
The highlights of the year for Aiden are prom and graduation. It is two more times for the class to be all together. Aden says what sets his class apart is they can all procrastinate very well. His advice to the underclassmen is to have fun and make memories.
Aiden’s future plans are to join the workforce. Tiger Nation wishes Aiden the best as he leaves NLHS.
