Karna Carlson, so. I moved here from Erie, because there
was trouble in the Erie school district.
My dad and brother teach here, it’s horrible. My dad says things about
me all the time, and there’s nothing I can do about it. My favorite type
of music is country. I went to a Dierks Bentley concert this summer, it was
a lot of fun.
My plans after highschool are to attend Kansas State University.
Nick Crepinsek, so. I moved here from Chanute
because we found a bigger house. I’ve
been able to make friends quicker since Humboldt is a lot smaller. An interesting
trip in my lifetime I went to the warped tour this past summer. My role model
is my dad because he always helps me with problems I have. My personal intrests
are listening to music, and doing some aggressive skating.
Joshua Culp, fr. I moved here from Parsons Alternative,
which is a lot smaller than Humboldt. It was an easy transition for me, and
I don’t
really miss anything. My favorite classes are math and physical education.
I plan on playing golf in the spring. I am a... funny person with a bad temper.
My plans after highschool are to attend college and maybe go into mechanics.
Derek
Harris, jr. I used to go to Chanute High
School. Even though Humboldt's a lot smaller,
I'm still making friends just as easily. I really enjoy playing football.
I play it for the love of the game, and also because we've got good coaches
here, too. My hero is Derek Thomas of the Kansas City Cheifs. I was named
after him! After high school Iwant to go to college and become a Marine Corps
officer.
Marty Hebeler, so. I moved here from Colony, because my
mom wanted to live here. Humboldt is a lot bigger. There are twice as many
students. My personal intrests are playing golf, and going to Colony to
hang out with my friends. I also plan on playing on the basketball team this
coming
season. My plans after high school are going to Oklahoma State Univeristy
to major in business and sales, and playing golf.
Eric Maxson, fr. I moved here from Iola. I like it better
here, because it’s easier
and I get along with the people. I already knew the P.E. teacher here, because
he used to be the Iola vice principal. My role model is my dad. If it wasn’t
for him, I wouldn’t
be playing football. I would describe myself as quiet, but easy to talk to.
After high school, I plan to go to college to become a mechanic.
Yulia Mosley, fr. I used to live in Russia. I was born there
and lived there for 11 1/2 years. I speak three different languages: English,
Russian, and Ukranian. My hero is is my mom, because she stayed strong
throughout the whole moving process. She is also working very hard on improving
her English. After high school, I plan on going to college somewhere far
away from Kansas
and majorin in psychology.
Donna Porter, jr. I moved here from Prairie View, Lacygne.
My role model is a teacher I had named Mrs. Cruise. She wouldn’t
move on to a new subject until everyone understood the old one, no matter
how long it took. My personal intrests are music, espeically rock, like
Aerosmith, AC/DC, and Ozzy Osbourne. I also enjoy playing on the computer.
Chloe Romine, fr. I moved here from Arkansas to
be closer to my grandparents, but I’ve
lived here before. It was difficult to move away from all my friends. People
would say that I can be pretty weird and spunky. My personal interests are
hanging out with my friends, shopping, and going swimming. After high school
I plan on attending a college in Arizona to become a doctor.
Channing Stirewalt, fr. I moved here from Chanute. My old
school doesn’t have an FFA program,
but Humboldt does. I want to get involved in judging animals. My heroes are
my friends. I look up to them because they have always been a positive influence
on my life. My plans after high school are to go to college, probably
to K-State. I want to train to become a pilot at aviation school.
Mark Valentine, jr. I moved here from Iola, but I live in
Elsmore. The classes here are a lot smaller, but I know quite a few people
here already. An interesting trip in my lifetime was when I once went
hiking in Colorado for two weeks. My role model would be my dad, because
he runs a bowling alley that he owns himself. I would say that I’m
a responsible person, but I like to have fun, too.
New Instructors
By Kayla Owens, junior
Advertising Manager
Shelby Huddleston
High school and Middle School Band and Choir Director
“
[My favorite memory as a teacher was] trying to get eighty students lined up
for a picture at 6:30 in the morning while they were half asleep.”
“
I’m more appreciative of what [teachers] do after learning what is involved
with their job.”
Robert Myers
Pre-algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Algebra I, Consumer Math, NHS sponsor
“
I think that the students here at Humboldt High School still take as much
pride in their school as what we did.”
“
I don’t think I will ever be able to call [any of my former high school
teachers] by their first names. However, it is neat to be their colleague
and have them respect my thoughts and ideas.”
Hailey Schoendaller
English I, English IV, Scholars’ Bowl sponsor, Junior Class Sponsor,
Middle School Volleyball Assistant Coach
“
[My funniest memory as a teacher would be when] I had a student who always
ate things, like paper, plastic, erasers, etc... So, I was constantly confiscating
items from him or making him spit things in the trash.”
“
[In high school,] I was very outgoing and involved in activities, clubs,
sports, and publications.I spent a lot of time with my friends, but doing
well in school was very important to me.”
Briana Wilkerson
Resource room, Cheerleading sponsor
“
I appreciate [teachers] even more now than I did [in high school]. I try
to stay in contact with most of them because it’s nice for them to
hear from former students!”
“
The biggest change [since I was in high school] would be the hairstyles and
clothes. For the most part, the dynamics of high school have not changed.
The atmosphere is lively and fast paced.”
