SENIOR SPOTLIGHT - TREVEN PRICE

Treven taught himself how to string lacrosse heads at a professional level and is planning to establish an online business flipping equipment. He is the middle child of seven who loves pizza, space, star wars movies, and the Taco Shop! Treven has endured and overcome several challenges and continues to have a fun sense of humor, a huge heart, and a strong sense of justice.

He is excited to put his business mindset to work after graduation. Treven, we cannot wait to see what God has planned for you!
SENIOR SPOTLIGHT - ASHLEY KOEHN
As many of you know, this young lady takes cheerleading to a whole new level! Ashley can be seen flipping and flying across the court at every basketball game, and she spends her weekends competing with the Cheer Eclipse All-Star Cheer and Tumbling Academy. Ashley has also been a member of the ECS track team, and she holds the honor of being ECS’s very first pole vaulter! Ashley is known to be an amazing encourager; she builds up those around her and celebrates others' successes - whether big or small! Ashley will use her compassion for others as she chases her dream of becoming a nurse. She will attend Hutchinson Community College in the fall to study nursing and to cheer on the HCC Cheer Squad. Congratulations, Ashley, we are so proud of you!

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT - KYLEE PENNER
Kylee is known at ECS for her dominance on the basketball and volleyball court, but her true love is on the farm with her many animals. Kylee is a Grand Champion barrel racer and has shown her horses at the state fair for many years. Kylee’s fun-loving nature and humor make her a friend to all, and while she was crowned Homecoming Queen this year, she might be more proud of her long-time reign as the Queen of Spirit Week at ECS! Kylee is one of the hardest workers you will ever meet, and she is excited to work at an animal hospital in the near future and have more time with her horses. We have no doubt, Kylee, that you will do great things! Congratulations!
