Senior 2024- Owen Gorham Mind over matter, what matter’s most is what’s on his mind, Owen Gorham is a philosopher and golfer and embodies this quote by Jack Nicklaus: “Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game’s two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.” As deeply immersed in the game as gaming, in heart as in mind, Owen takes a swing at each day, punching long drives down the course in every kind of weather. Next year he will be putting on the fair greens of the University of Idaho pursuing a business degree. pc: Angela Gorham Photography

Senior 2024- Jesse Larison Scrub-brush shredding, tree-felling, football scoring fool, Jesse Larison is a scaler of peaks, a wanderer of wilderness, and a hunter. Whether its the mayhem of March mustache madness, or digging into diesel engines, Jesse pursues his passions with persistence. His advice to younger students is “Don’t stress.” Next year he’ll be where the smoke is: because where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and where there is fire, there’s a job.

Senior 2024- Adan Lopez Adan, Adam, Junior, whichever name you know him by, Adan Lopez hails from a tight-knit family 18 miles upstream of Imnaha. A football fanatic (soccer), his positive, analytical mind is a force to be reckoned with. No stranger to inquisitiveness, his smile can light up a room. Some parting words from Adam as he heads out into the grand world: “The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.” (Franklin D Roosevelt). Boo! pc: Angela Gorham Photography

The 8th grade science class wrote and illustrated information about invertebrates, and then spent time reading them to the kindergarten class.

Senior 2024- Hailey Teters At once respectful and strong, witty and serious, Hailey Teters quickly adapted to Joseph Charter her senior year. Whether it's slangin’ pizzas or taking care of her dog Hank, Hailey has the grit and love to make it through the tougher spots of life. Her analytical nature will most likely lead her towards a lucky life as a lab technician. While you can’t repeat life, and some things in life just shouldn’t be repeated, the sky’s the limit for this JCS grad. pc: Angela Gorham Photography

Senior 2024- Charles Bronson A straight-shooting kid from Virginia, Charles Bronson joined Joseph Charter his sophomore year. While he participated in cross-country and basketball, football left a lasting impression on his ACL. Academically, he enjoyed aviation and history, learning about past wars and how to spread his wings and fly. “Life is full of stupid,” says Charles, “but you just have to learn to go with the flow.” Charles will be headed to EOU after graduation to figure out his next steps in life.
