For this week’s student spotlight I have decided to focus on our 2022 Homecoming Candidates. I have talked to Senior Elijah Leenerts about his nomination and his further academic career. 

• Who were you nominated by?
  • “I was nominated by National Honors Society.”
• What piece of advice do you have for younger high school students?
  • “Go out to the games participate in clubs, and enjoy your time in high school because it will be over before you know it.”
• Do you have a favorite memory from high school? If so, what is it?
  • “My favorite memory was beating everyone in gagaball at after-prom my junior year.”
• What clubs are you in?
  • “I am one of the leaders in  the Fellowship of Christian Athletes club.”
• What college are you planning on going to? What for? What major?
  • “I am not sure yet but I am leaning towards attending KU. I do not know what I want to study yet.”
• What classes would you suggest to underclassmen?
  • “I would recommend taking APUSH because Ellisason is a great teacher and it is interesting learning about US history.”
• If you weren’t nominated, who would you vote for? Why?
  • “Jamond Lane or Ethan Uhlrig because I love both of those guys and they are some of my good friends.”
