November Elite Braves: Aidan Wodarski-Farley, Marley Rounds, Jeffrey Samec, Collin May, Max Nicolussi, and Kara Moreland (missing from photo).
7th Grade Elite Brave: Kara Moreland
Clubs and/or Sports: JV Cross Country
What I love about Iroquois is that it's a close-knit community and a small school district where we really get to know everyone. Since joining the cross-country team, it's helped me feel more connected to my peers and I have made some new friends in other grades as well. Coach Sluga, Mr. MacKelvey, and Mrs. Barringer are amazing coaches!
Future Aspirations: I have an interest of going into nursing school after high school. One day I would love to visit the Bahamas; it is very pretty there and super warm. It is ranked one of the best vacation destinations in the world to visit. I would love to join other sports teams for school and am considering the Swim team and Track & Field.
Favorite Teacher: Ms. Durante (6th grade) has made the most impact on me because she was very engaging and really helped me learn math better. She was always caring, humorous, and made learning fun!
Favorite Quote: "Give thanks to the LORD for He good: His love endures forever." Psalm 107:1
11th Grade Elite Brave: Max Nicolussi
Clubs and/or Sports: Marching/Concert Band, Vocal Ensemble, Drama Club, Golf, Track & Field, Iroquois Robotics, Boy Scouts, Student Council, Jacket Club
Iroquois is small which offers a tightly knit community, while also giving everyone a chance to participate in any sport or activity they want.
Favorite Teacher: I would have to say Mr. Chase has impacted me the most due to his combination of discipline and mind set of striving for perfection. Mr. Chase has also been a teacher of mine every year since I was in 4th grade, and has always shown a great deal of compassion in his efforts of building us into successful young men and women.
Favorite Quote: “It's not 'can'; it's 'will.' You have to will things into fruition.”- Kanye West
9th Grade Elite Brave: Marley Rounds
What I love about Iroquois is all of the teachers are not only good teachers, but they are good people. The teachers here go out of their way to make the students happy.
Future Aspirations: Go to Tony and Guy to pursue my dream of being a cosmetologist. Once I get out of college, I want to have a good job for about a year. After that year of the job I want to go on a trip to a place I have never been before, or visit family I don't see often.
Favorite Teacher: The teacher that has made the most impact on me is Mrs. Bandur and Mrs. Nuhfer. I could not pick just one. They both helped me through the hardest times in my life. I could go to these teachers with anything and they knew just what to say. They made learning fun. I usually don't like school, but they made be excited to go to school every day.
