In 1924, the very first Bozman family member graduated from Wylie High School. Exactly 100 years later, in May, another member of the family will proudly walk the stage – marking the fifth consecutive generation to earn a diploma from Wylie High. Over the past century, this family has been a steadfast presence within Wylie ISD, forming a lengthy maroon lineage with a lot of pride and affection for the place they call home.

Four of those five generations share their stories about attending Wylie High School. The only story missing is from the one who started it all -- Lionel “Skinner” Bozman, a member of Wylie High School’s Class of 1924. Skinner passed away in 1978.
