Courageous…
• AUTUMN EDWARDS (HS) is amazing!! She has already envisioned the kind of ranch (Rose Ranch!!) that she wants to own in the near future, she has many of the details worked out including a logo, a landscaping plan, and an operations plan. To meet her goals, she has been working the last couple years with Bill White on his ranch where she has learned many of the different areas of ranching including raising, grazing, butchering, and packaging of beef, working with horses and repairing farm equipment, managing water supplies and harvesting crops. She has detailed plans for her tiny house and is working hard every day to make all of these dreams a reality.

Knowledgeable…
• ROCCO WILDMAN (HS) is clearly bright, and is one of only 2 students who got above 96% on the last Chemistry test, but what really shows how knowledgable Rocco is, is how well he is able to explain the content to his peers (Communicator). He is also always willing to help his peers (Caring).
