Tuesday, May 7th is Class Picture Day!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

Senior 2024- Jessup Orr Mathematical wizard and magical essayist, Jessup Orr can jump from branch to branch, twirl, sommersault, and somehow still land on his feet. Swift as a sparrow, sly as a fox, he also holds high scores on multiple gaming platforms and is always up to his ears in ideas. Perhaps it is no wonder that he will pursue an engineering degree at the Oregon Institute of Technology. His parting advice to students is: “Live free and be true to yourself. I don’t know what will happen if you do both, but its better than you not knowing either.”

The throwers were able to participate in the throwers relay at the Baker Invite yesterday. It was a fun, and very exciting event to see.

Join us as we get the school garden ready for the summer!

Senior 2024- Kane Johnson Cool, calm, and collected, Kane Johnson meets challenges head-on; his ability to interpret and make decisions is far-reaching; his judgement, solid; his handling of pressure, professional. Team captain and academic stand out, Kane is also a fisherman who values family and friends. Sincere in his service to others and always striving to do his best, Kane is humble and still shies away from the spotlight. Next year he will be attending the University of Idaho to pursue a degree in agricultural marketing.

Joseph Charter School & the Lazy Mule Farm are working together to get fresh local produce into the school cafeteria starting with salad greens this May! #FarmtoSchool #EatLocal #FreshProduce #OregonFarmtoSchool

Senior 2024- Owen Gorham Mind over matter, what matter’s most is what’s on his mind, Owen Gorham is a philosopher and golfer and embodies this quote by Jack Nicklaus: “Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game’s two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.” As deeply immersed in the game as gaming, in heart as in mind, Owen takes a swing at each day, punching long drives down the course in every kind of weather. Next year he will be putting on the fair greens of the University of Idaho pursuing a business degree. pc: Angela Gorham Photography

Senior 2024- Jesse Larison Scrub-brush shredding, tree-felling, football scoring fool, Jesse Larison is a scaler of peaks, a wanderer of wilderness, and a hunter. Whether its the mayhem of March mustache madness, or digging into diesel engines, Jesse pursues his passions with persistence. His advice to younger students is “Don’t stress.” Next year he’ll be where the smoke is: because where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and where there is fire, there’s a job.

THIS THURSDAY!

Senior 2024- Adan Lopez Adan, Adam, Junior, whichever name you know him by, Adan Lopez hails from a tight-knit family 18 miles upstream of Imnaha. A football fanatic (soccer), his positive, analytical mind is a force to be reckoned with. No stranger to inquisitiveness, his smile can light up a room. Some parting words from Adam as he heads out into the grand world: “The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.” (Franklin D Roosevelt). Boo! pc: Angela Gorham Photography

The 8th grade science class wrote and illustrated information about invertebrates, and then spent time reading them to the kindergarten class.

Senior 2024- Hailey Teters At once respectful and strong, witty and serious, Hailey Teters quickly adapted to Joseph Charter her senior year. Whether it's slangin’ pizzas or taking care of her dog Hank, Hailey has the grit and love to make it through the tougher spots of life. Her analytical nature will most likely lead her towards a lucky life as a lab technician. While you can’t repeat life, and some things in life just shouldn’t be repeated, the sky’s the limit for this JCS grad. pc: Angela Gorham Photography
