Mason Tatro

Lima Senior High School

Chief Community Service and Outreach Officer

I am a junior at Lima Senior High School, I have been in the Lima City school district my whole life. I will be expecting to graduate in May of 2028. I live with my parents Kenji and Michael, my little brothers Max and Racer, and my little sister Karson. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats so we have a packed house. I work at Applebees, and I am planning to attend The Ohio State University Lima.Like I said before I have been in the Lima City district my whole life, during those years I’ve been a part of many sports programs but right now I am a part of the soccer, golf, football, basketball, and baseball teams and on top of that I am also a part of the Early Childhood program. I’m truly passionate about teaching and working with children. Every summer I get to visit my real dad in Vermont, so when I'm there I get to hang out with my brother Easton and sister Dawson.

One of my personal goals is to be the best in everything that I do and if I'm not able to do that I will strive to be the greatest. I’ve lived with my Mom my whole life and she has taught me to never give up on something that I love so that's my “why” to strive to be the greatest. My career goals are to go to college for sports and earn a degree in early childhood education to become a teacher like my Mom. I am striving to play basketball and or baseball in college. Some day I would also like to be a coach in our school district.  

I am proud of who I have become since joining Educators Rising.
