Congratulations students and families! Here is the list of the top 10 students for the class of 2026. They have the highest grade point average in their entire class! Each student met with Principal Nassivera to receive the good news. Thank you to Senior Payton Bashaw for these beautiful graphics.
#1 - Matthew Ruigrok
Matthew's Advice: "Work hard in everything you do. Try your best and if you put effort in, you will succeed. Do what you love; but most important, have fun! Life is meant to be fun. Good luck in all your future endeavors."
#2 - Addison Manwarren
Addison's Advice: "Do your best now so you don't look back and wish you tried harder. Consistency matters far more than cramming. You won't regret putting in effort, but you might regret the chances you didn't take. At the same time, practice empathy. Treat your teachers and classmates with respect. We are all human and we are all growing, so it's important to remember that. High school isn't forever, but if you are someone who works hard, shows respect, and spreads kindness - you will truly go far in life."
#3 - Parker Cornwall
Parker's Advice: "Do your work and listen to teachers."
#4 - Noah Weeden
Noah's Advice: "Please actually try in school, it does actually matter. Also try to take some difficult classes. Set goals for yourself. Try to stay on top of work, don't let it pile up. It really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Apply yourself and you'll be fine. Make sure to enjoy high school as much as possible, it goes fast."
#5 - Payton Bashaw
Payton's Advice: "Soak in every moment because it goes by so fast. Try to get involved in extracurriculars and never be afraid to ask for help when you need it."
#6 - Elyas Al Assere
Elyas's Advice: "Be kind, even when you don't feel like it. Do your work, especially when you don't feel like it. Stay true to yourself because that'll be more rewarding than any award or class ranking. Do that and you will see everything else fall into place."
#7 - Nathan Barber
Nathan's Advice: "Take advantage of every opportunity you are given. Whether it is joining a sport or taking a challenging class, these experiences will help you shape your future to be successful."
#8 - Wesley Glinka
Wesley's Advice: "Don't skip school at all. Be confident, but do not be a know it all. Do your school work on time if you are taking AP Math classes."
#9 - Isaac Strout
Isaac's Advice: "Be respectful and do your work; you'll be fine. I wish I practiced my band instrument more and studied for tests more regularly. Hard work pays off. It does. Work hard and people will see that. Never slander others. There is too much slander and gossip in this world. Build people up, don't tear them down."
#10 - Brett Stewart
Brett's Advice: "Stay in school, stay out of trouble, try your best, and success will come your way."
Congratulations to students and their families.
