B7 Grads Look to The Future

Graduating from high school is a milestone event … tangible proof an important life goal has been achieved ... and the first step into adulthood.  In the B7 Ward, the following four have achieved this momentous objective. 

Stetson Jones, son of Teak Jones and Corwin and Diana Smith, has been a proud Dixie Flyer for only about a year, but in that time, he has made a name for himself playing football and wrestling, and has even found time to work toward a pilot license through the school’s JROTC program.   In addition, he graduated on May 22 with a gpa over 3.75, received a WCSD Honor Diploma and was one of 70 Utah Scholars in his graduating class.  During the weeks immediately following graduation, he will be very busy as he prepares to enter the MTC on July 30 in the final step toward full-time missionary service in the Philippines Cebu Mission.  

Aleia Anderson, daughter of Gary and Nancy Anderson, graduated from 4 years of seminary then joined 325 of her classmates at the Avenna Center on the DSU campus to receive a diploma from Dixie High School. Aleia, who calls winning “Best in 3D” for sculpture in the Dixie Conesite Festival a highlight in her high school career, was awarded the Merit Scholarship to Dixie State University and plans to further her education at DSU majoring in art. 

Ashley Wilkes, daughter of Rob and Chardell Wilkes, graduated in early May from the Success Academy at Dixie State University, a rigorous early college high school program with an emphasis on computers, engineering and science, where her favorite class was Psychology.  Highlights of her high school years include placing 3rd in chemistry in the SUU Science Fair and receiving the Dean’s Scholarship to DSU.  Looking forward, this artistic young woman is excited about taking an oil painting class from Del Parsons, is planning to serve a mission and hopes to attend BYU. 

Bridger Kanenwisher, daughter of Boyd and Cheryl Kanenwisher, was one of 54 graduating this year from Tuacahn High School. Bridger graduated with honors and has earned a full tuition academic scholarship to Snow College. She leaves in August for school. She was a member of the state award-winning Tuacahn Madrigals choir and participated in 2 other choirs as well. 


Congratulations, B7 Grads!
