He was currently a senior at White Deer High School where he was ranked number one in his class. Dietrich was very involved in the White Deer band, NHS, AG, One Act Play, and UIL math and science teams. He was a good student that never wanted the spotlight on him. Dietrich was a good friend who was always tender to his surroundings. Being respectful to others was important to him and how he carried himself.
