Senior Spotlight: Carson Wheeler

Carson’s Senior Story

When Carson showed up for his senior photos, he brought with him a personality as timeless as the music he loves. His world is filled with the sounds of 70s, 80s, and 90s records and cassette tapes, often playing on his vintage Walkman. His favorite artist? David Bowie, whose influence is woven into Carson’s style. Carson’s wardrobe is almost entirely thrifted, chosen with longevity in mind. Flannels, a black denim jacket, his bright red Converse, and those Bowie sneakers came together to create a look that was relaxed, quirky, and completely authentic to him.
