Senior 2024- William Clark A wearer of shorts, regardless of how many feet of snow accumulates outside, William Clark exhibits superhuman powers on a daily basis with his heart, lifting others up with laughter, kindness, and his “make the most of the moment” attitude. You can find him on the golf course yelling “Fore!” shooting six, and writing down five. Next year he will be attending University of Idaho, or not. This fiery hearted young man can always be found at the end of the rainbow, and if you are lucky enough, he’ll share his heart of gold with you.

Senior 2024- Payton Hess Whether it’s baking biscuits and serving up gravy or supporting others on the football field, Payton Hess brings flavor to every situation. He is a feeder of the soul, a soul-food purveyor, as careful as caring, as silly as circumspect. Even when the days are grey, there is often a sparkle in Peyton’s eye that shines from within. Next year as Payton fight fire for the ODF, he will be sharing this advice: “Procrastination always works out.” pc: Angela Gorham Photography

2nd Grade planted Jack O' Lanterns for the Farm to School program and got to enjoy all the beautiful flowers in the greenhouse today.

She spends her time mentoring youngsters, competing in sports, and strengthening her academic grit.

And if you find yourself off-track, make sure to have four-wheel-drive capabilities.” Next year she will attend Lewis-Clark State College and major in nursing.

Happy Teacher Appreciation week Mrs. Warnock!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

Senior 2024- Jessup Orr Mathematical wizard and magical essayist, Jessup Orr can jump from branch to branch, twirl, sommersault, and somehow still land on his feet. Swift as a sparrow, sly as a fox, he also holds high scores on multiple gaming platforms and is always up to his ears in ideas. Perhaps it is no wonder that he will pursue an engineering degree at the Oregon Institute of Technology. His parting advice to students is: “Live free and be true to yourself. I don’t know what will happen if you do both, but its better than you not knowing either.”

The throwers were able to participate in the throwers relay at the Baker Invite yesterday. It was a fun, and very exciting event to see.

Join us as we get the school garden ready for the summer!

Senior 2024- Kane Johnson Cool, calm, and collected, Kane Johnson meets challenges head-on; his ability to interpret and make decisions is far-reaching; his judgement, solid; his handling of pressure, professional. Team captain and academic stand out, Kane is also a fisherman who values family and friends. Sincere in his service to others and always striving to do his best, Kane is humble and still shies away from the spotlight. Next year he will be attending the University of Idaho to pursue a degree in agricultural marketing.
