Brian Aviles is a 1988 graduate from Temple High School who has dedicated his life to service and is a true hero in every sense of the word. After graduation, he joined the Navy and was stationed all over the world and on countless Naval vessels throughout his 24-year career. He retired from the Navy in 2012 and began pursuing his vision of a college degree. In 2018, Brian earned his Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems and in 2020 he earned his Master of Science in Information Systems both from Texas A&M Central Texas. He currently works as an IT Tech and according to Brian, there is still “more to come….”
His many honors and accomplishments are commendable, but perhaps the most profound thing about Brian is summed up by his resiliency, perseverance and humility. In his own words, Brian describes what Temple High School meant to him:
“Temple High School is where I started to frame my dreams, wishes, and hopes into a vision template on what if’s and open-ended questions to achieve my future goals. Through frustrations, loneliness, homelessness at 17, and graduation in 1988 I knew Temple High School education would help spring- board me towards my framed vision, but what I came to understand then and after traveling the world and serving my country; is God had woven Temple High School into my very fabric that went around the world with me and continues to be a part of me today. Thus, it all started with Temple High School…”
When Brian retired from the Navy, he chose to return to Temple where “it all started” to raise his family with wife Lisa. His youngest son Jacob Cody Aviles is currently a sophomore at Temple High School.
