Michael Ramos is the son of Jerald and Nina Solomon. After high school, Michael is keeping his options open as he wants to explore interests before he chooses a career. MIchael says that Mr. Marshall is a teacher who made an impact on his high school career because he always helped him understand his work and guided him through his high school years. Michael offers encouragement to the underclassmen saying, “Always try your best even when you think you can't do it you can do it!!” Good Luck, Michael!

Our HS Athletes are looking to make a final push towards qualifying for the state meets, and our JH Track will compete at their conference meet. Morning marathon this week as the temps finally cooperate, and a School Board Meeting on Wednesday @ 7:00! Good Luck to all!

What advice does the senior class and Student Body president have for the underclassmen? Elijah Belzer says, “Have fun in high school, don't be afraid to try new things. There's always time to have fun and enjoy yourself but get your work done first you hooligans.” Elijah certainly has tried several new things in high school. He has participated in football, wrestling, track, band (marching, jazz, pep), choir (Wapetonics), soccer, and National Honor Society. Elijah has also participated in FCA and has been a Huddle leader for three years. Elijah is the son of Nathan and Rebecca Belzer. After high school, Elijah plans to attend Central College where he will continue to wrestle and major in Business Administration and Finance Elijah says that Brett Shafer has been one of the most influential people in his high school career, saying, “He was the one that introduced me to wrestling. He has invested time and effort into me since I was in 8th grade. I know if I ever have a question or need help with something I know I can go to him. He's a bit of an orange but he's a great guy and I'm thankful for him and how he's always been there.” Best of Luck, Elijah!

Evelyn Peck is the oldest daughter to Micah and Monique Peck. Evelyn has always been an active member of Wapello High School activities - in the last four years she as been involved in cross country, football cheerleading, wrestling cheerleading, poms, track, band (marching, pep, and jazz), choir (Wapetonics), basketball, drama, FCCLA, soccer, National Honor Society, and student council. Evelyn advises the underclassmen that “Life is too short, especially High School, so make the most of it!!” Evelyn also says that Mrs. Brown has been her most impactful teacher because, “She's always positive and encouraging. She makes me feel not only like a student but like her own child at times. She gives me a feeling of trust and security. If I were to need anything, she'd be there. She also gives me fruit snacks when I do something awesome!!” After high school, Evelyn plans to attend Southeastern Community College to complete her prerequisites and then transfer to Kirkwood Community College to begin the Occupational Therapy program. Good Luck, Evelyn!

Football, drama, cross-country, band, choir, FCA, soccer, and wrestling have kept Jacob Chamberlin-Johnston busy the last four years at Wapello High School. Jacob is the son of John Richardson and Di’anna Chamberlin-Johnston. Jacob tells underclassmen to “get your English homework done on time.” He also credits Ms. Bostian was an impactful staff member in his life because “If it were not for her help, I would not have passed.” After high school, Jacob plans to attend Southeastern Community College to complete his two year degree in the welding program.
