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.
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!

Serah Shafer is the daughter of Debbie Shafer and the late Richard Shafer. Serah left her mark on WHS, participating in softball, volleyball, basketball, track, and band. She was also a member of FCA, FFA, National Honor Society, student council, and the PBIS student committee.
Mrs. Marshall and Mrs. Ungerer had the biggest impact on Serah in high school. Mrs. Marshall taught Serah that struggles are good, and that you can’t grow without struggle. “Her classes taught me so much, not just about math, but about life as well.”
About Mrs. Ungerer, Serah states, “Her joy of school, teaching, and life is very contagious. She never fails to put a smile on my face, and I look forward to her class because her lessons are very interesting and she also teaches us what life is all about.”
Serah will attend Upper Iowa University in the fall to continue her education and play softball. She leaves with this advice for underclassmen, “Don’t take your time in high school for granted.” We wish you the best, Serah!
“Have fun while it lasts - it flies by!” Words of advice from senior, Owen Housman. Owen is the son of Doug and Faith Housman. While having fun at WHS, Owen participated in football, baseball, basketball, wrestling and track.

Owen’s future plans are to attend Kirkwood Community College and major in Ag Business. Good luck, Owen!
