Class of 2026 Graduates: #5 Briana Allen

May 18, 2026

University of Texas at Austin

Computer Science

Most Impactful Activity, Class or Teacher
Theater impacted me the most because it helped me to develop confidence. I improved my public speaking skills and made a lot of friends.

Most Cherished High School Memory
I loved going to the fair with my friends every year where we screamed on rides, ran through funhouses, and hit each other in our bumper cars.

Overcoming Challenge & The Lessons Learned
Moving around a lot felt like a reset each time. I learned to adapt to wherever I ended up and pushed myself to start new friendships.

Making the Most of High School  
Explore as many interests and hobbies as you possibly can and find things that can help destress so that you can balance your priorities and yourself.

My Inspiration
My family gives me inspiration to achieve more than they did. My teachers give me encouragement, and my friends give me a bit of friendly competition.

Proudest Accomplishment
I’m proud of achieving first place individually and as a team at UIL Literary Criticism regionals. I bounced around multiple extracurriculars over the entirety of high school but found that my abilities and strengths aligned the most with this one.

Who Knew?
I grew up in a military family and lived in six places total across two continents and four different states. I’ve lived in Las Vegas, NV; San Antonio, TX; Aviano, Italy; Destin, FL; Yorktown, VA; and Abilene, TX.

Thank You So Much
I want to thank my family, my teachers, and my friends for encouraging me, supporting me, and challenging me in all that I do.
