What is Queen of Hearts?

Each year the American Heart Association’s Queen of Hearts campaign brings together a group of young leaders to make an impact on women’s heart health in the Tri-Cities. During this 8-week campaign, young people who want to make a difference are empowered with the training and resources to take action for their own heart health and the hearts of those around them.

We are thrilled to share that Aniston Barnette, from Tennessee High School was the American Heart Association’s 2024 National Impact Winner! We are excited to build on this incredible momentum by identifying high school students with a passion for making a difference to join us for the 2025 Queen of Hearts Campaign.

I’m happy to answer any questions or connect on a call!

With heart,

Stacy

This is always such a fun event! Our high school players really enjoy putting on this tournament for the young ones!

A potent pantheon of gods, heroes engaged in epic battles, fearsome mythical creatures and supernatural transformations - such fantastical elements infused Greek myths with a wonder and excitement that's hard to beat. These tales of love, courage, conflict and intrigue - from the labors of Hercules to the adventures of Odysseus - shared for thousands of years, are still so powerful today.

On October 6th, 2024, Brayden Beecham became the fourth David Crockett High School student to earn their solo wings with FLIGHT Foundation. Brayden received a solo scholarship from the Ray Foundation. He soloed in a Cessna-152 at the Greeneville airport in 13.9 hours as the 293rd solo student overall in the FLIGHT Foundation sponsored High School/College Flight Program, recognized as the best in the nation and a Tennessee Aviation Hall-of-Fame program. Pictured with Brayden - is Lt. Col Bill Powley.

On October 16th, Brandon Ward was awarded the Legion of Valor Bronze Cross for Achievement. This Award, consisting of a Bronze Cross and certificate, is awarded annually to outstanding cadets to recognize achievement of scholastic excellence in Naval Science and academic subjects and to stimulate development of leadership. Cadet Ward went through an arduous screening process with recommendations from his Naval Science Instructors, Principal and ultimately being selected by LCDR Baker, Area 8 Manager. He competed against other Cadets from Area 8. Criteria for his selection included his military leadership and his academic standing both in Naval Science and amongst his peers in his grade. Cadet Ward plans on attending Middle Tennessee University in the Aerospace professional program. This program will help him on his long term goal of becoming a Naval Aviator. Cadet Ward has brought great credit upon himself and the Pioneers at David Crockett High School.
