April 1, 2025

In her most ambitious move yet, Blaze—Forsyth Tech’s iconic mascot, aspiring professor, and all-around legend—has announced the release of her debut memoir: “Becoming Blaze: My Journey from Forest Trails to Trailblazer Goals.”

Blaze’s book chronicles her rise from humble woodland beginnings to her current status as fox, faculty, and future athletics icon.

To accompany the release, Blaze will teach a new course in Fall 2025:

TRBL 2650 – Advanced Trailblazing Theory & Tail Tactics
Topics include:

  • Paw-sitive leadership
  • Spirit sprinting
  • Advanced hydration management
  • Pre-game pep strategies

Dr. Janet Spriggs, President of Forsyth Tech, said of Blaze’s multi-hyphenate moment, “She’s teaching, she’s publishing, and she’s already asked to coach two of our athletic teams. I’ve learned not to say no to Blaze.”

In a subtle but exciting twist, the final chapter of Blaze’s memoir simply reads:
“See you on the court — fall 2025.”

Blaze and everyone at Forsyth Tech would like to wish you a Happy April Fool’s Day!
