A huge thank you to country music artist Aaron Simmons for visiting the WDC High School Career Exploration and Choir classes on Friday, April 11!

Aaron shared an inspiring message about the power of hard work, resilience, and chasing your dreams, reminding students that success takes grit and heart.

He wrapped up the visit by treating us to a mini concert—including singing Happy Birthday to a Wolverine student celebrating her 15th! We’re so grateful for the time and talent he shared with us.

Hailing from Stewartville, Minnesota, the singer/songwriter dreamed of playing music in front of fans for a living, and now he is doing just that. Simmmons has opened up for, according to his online biography, "Scotty McCreery, Parmalee, Tracy Byrd, Easton Corbin, Elvie Shane, and Restless Road"

So far Aaron has seen early success as his debut album Third St SW, went to #5 on the iTunes Country Albums Chart in 2020. His 2023 album Center Avenue helped him earn multiple nominations at the Midwest Country Music Organization, including Male Vocalist and Song of the Year.

This is one of the first songs that got Aaron going on his journey, which he is still on today.
