Meet ESUSD Sweethearts Lauren & Garrett Thompson! 💙
Members of the Class of 2010, they first met during their junior year at ESHS. Lauren was a new student and arrived 20 minutes late to her first class, as she couldn’t find the classroom.
When she got to class, there was only one seat remaining—right in front of her future husband! Now, they celebrate 10 years of marriage and the joy of raising two children together.

Celebrating ESUSD Sweethearts! 💙
Chris and Tracey Dewar (ESHS Class of '96 and '97) were high school friends who lost touch after graduation.
They eventually lost touch, but reconnected on Facebook in 2010! Despite living in two different states—Tracey was in Texas and Chris was in California—they made long-distance dating work.
The couple tied the knot in 2011 and now call Flower Mound, TX, home!
