Mark Perkins has been on a Yearbook staff since 2013. In his spare time, he enjoys sleeping and bad-mouthing things on National Geographic, especially leopards. He’s brown, tall, and single (at least on the weekends he is). He is looking for a woman who is willing to take charge and "wear the pants" in the relationship. Perkins has attended the UIL State Cross-Examination Debate competition three times, attended the National Speech and Debate competition three times, he is an All-Academic American, and he placed third at the Congressional Debate State Competition in 2019.  When Perkins graduates, he plans on pursuing a degree in English at Stephen F. Austin State University.
