Favorite Memory of High School:
I would say my favorite memories of high school were my senior year of basketball, and winning homecoming queen.
Favorite Class(es)/Why:
Spanish With Fernandez, It was always fun and chill.
Favorite Teacher(s)/Why:
My favorite teacher throughout my high school experience is Mrs. Fernandez because of how kind and encouraging she is with me.
Most influential adult/Why:
My mom is the most influential person in my life because she is always there for me no matter what. I can always count on her for support or guidance. She is always helping those around her and inspires me to do my best every day and to be kind.
Future Plans: After high school, I plan to attend Briar Cliff University to further my education and pursue a degree in elementary education while playing college basketball.
Words of Wisdom to Underclassmen: Don't procrastinate and just get your work done as soon as you get it!


Tressa BigBear
Parents/guardians: Anna Baker, Pam Mahkuk
Favorite Memory of High School: Playing basketball and doing track my sophomore year, and going to state for XC my junior year
Favorite Class(es)/Why: Accounting because it helped me understand what I wanted to do in college, also in my Entrepreneur class with Mr. Bonneau, he taught me how to make and design shirts that everyone likes. That class also helped me understand business, along with Accounting and Finance.
Favorite Teacher(s)/Why: My Favorite teacher is Mr. Bonneau, he helped me overcome so many obstacles ever since I was in Jr. high all through high school, from him showing me how I could run long distances to making it to state my jr year and he continued to help me with my classes and other personal things that I was going through. I couldn't have done it without him, and I thank him for everything he has ever done for me and taught me.
Most influential adult/Why: My Kaka Pam influences me so much with how determined and strong-headed she is. She is a strong person and I would like to have her determination when I get older. She does so much for me and my sister, I would never trade her for anything in the world.
Future Plans: I plan on going to LPTC for my business degree, then transfer to WITT for my Accounting and Finance, and get a job in accounting.
Words of Wisdom to Underclassmen: Just be yourself and try not to care about anything and anyone, it just makes school harder

Favorite Memory of High School:
There are too many to mention.
Favorite Class(es)/Why:
Any of my wood shop classes with Mr Welsh. We always had a grand ole time.
Favorite Teacher(s)/Why:
Mr Stoner stopped teaching after my freshman year, but he never stopped giving me advice on life or anything I'd ask him about. One of the things that he said to us that always stuck with me is "it's not about the destination, it's the path that it takes you on and the things you learn along the way (the journey)"
Mrs Pick is also one of my favorites. She has her days, but since I met her, she's always been a good listener and has a good perspective on things when it comes time for her to give me advice on anything. Her English class will always be my favorite.
Most influential adult/Why:
My Choka, William Hallowell, has taught me a lot about managing money and being independent. He’s shown me how to budget and save, which has helped me feel more prepared for the future. Beyond just money, he’s always there to help me with anything, whether it’s life advice or just practical things I need help with. He always makes time for me, no matter how busy he is, and that means a lot. I’m really lucky to have someone like him in my life, and I’m super grateful for everything he’s taught me and all the support he gives me.
Future Plans:
I want to attend college to pursue a career in social work or counseling.
Words of Wisdom to Underclassmen:
Don't second-guess yourself & try something new once in a while.


MeHaWee RoseMarie Grant
Parents/guardians: Krystal and Girard Grant
Favorite Memory of High School: Academy trip to Washington, D.C. I was able to learn a lot from D.C, along with having fun and taking cool pictures with my friends. D.C was cool and had a lot of scenery, which was good to look at when we went on walks.
Favorite Class(es)/Why: Study skills: I was able to get caught up in work.
Favorite Teacher(s)/Why: Mrs. Fernandez, because she's been with me since 7th grade. She is always there for her students, and she helped me whenever I needed it.
Most influential adult/Why: My mother, because she helped me get to where I am now and stay on the right path.
Future Plans: As soon as I graduate, I hope to go to the army as a national guard while also studying at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I hope to go into Kinesiology and athletic training.
Words of Wisdom to Underclassmen: work hard, don't procrastinate, and try to participate in everything you can because you can find new interests.
