"I've always wanted to give back to my school. I have always thought of them, and the way they brought me up – building me with the programs we had like Junior Achievement, et cetera," Honeycutt said. "Once I got in a position to give back, I just wanted to give back to my school."
In the past, Honeycutt has worked with the principal to have the students at the school participate in an essay contest.
