Wood plans to study computer science in college.
John Wood was known as a hacker. He tinkered with computers, trying to break into the school's network and sometimes crashing the machines. His antics at Smyer High School in Smyer, Texas, frustrated his teachers so much that they banned him from the network. When Penny Rainey started her job as technology director at the Smyer Independent School District, teachers warned her about Wood. But Rainey didn't see the boy as a troublemaker.
