Paige’s favorite memory in high school is her senior year homecoming because it was our first week all together since March of 2020. She also states that it restored a sense of normalcy and it was a different surreal feeling.
When Paige has free time, you will most likely see her enjoying time with family and friends. She could also be found working, running, lifting, walking, and camping.

Her favorite music artists are Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen and her favorite movie is called “Undefeated.” Paige’s favorite school lunches are beef crispitos and taco soup.
Paige’s advice for underclassmen is that high school is just one chapter of a whole book. Enjoy it while you can, but remember there is so much after high school too. No matter how many people tell you, she promises that high school is NOT the best years of your life. Her biggest fear is failing and letting people get close to her. She is also afraid of dying a torturous death. Paige’s biggest pet peeve was being locked out of Mr. Wimmer’s classroom several times after asking permission to leave. Paige loved her senior year the most because she had many more friends and it was more enjoyable.
Paige would like to be remembered as someone who helped and supported others, especially when they felt alone and no one understood them. In high school, Paige’s greatest accomplishment was pushing herself to her limits all four years and remaining successful as a student, an athlete, and an employee. In life Paige would like to accomplish becoming a successful surgeon and have a family. Next year, Paige will be attending University of South Dakota. She will be majoring in biology on a pre-med track.
