Kenzie Alexis Davis is the daughter of Randy Jacks and Stephanie Davis. While in high school, Kenzie participated in choir and was a member of the National Honor Society. She recalls making memories with her friends and staying on top of her grades during her time at WHS.
Ms. Bostian had the biggest impact on Kenzie because she was always there for her and always offered a helpful and listening ear to help Kenzie through many different things.
Kenzie advises others to not procrastinate. Just get everything done and have free time later! If she were to be quoted in the yearbook, she would quote her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth the 2nd and say, "It is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change."
After graduation, Kenzie will attend State Fair Community College in Sedalia, Missouri to complete the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program.
Congratulations, Kenzie!

Logan plans to attend Kirkwood Community College to study business and dental hygiene. He advises underclassmen, “Be yourself!”
Good luck, Logan!

Lillian plans to attend DMACC for one year to study psychology and then transfer to Iowa State University. She leaves with this advice: “Don’t procrastinate your homework!”
We wish you well, Lillian!
“Nothing in life is impossible as long as you take that first step!” - a quote that senior Montana Lee-Marie Boline has lived by the last four years at Wapello High School.
Montana is the daughter of Harold and Traci Boline and has been very involved in sports and activities. She has participated in wrestling, football cheer, basketball, softball, volleyball, track, choir, drama, and FFA. Her activities have kept her busy, but she says that FFA has been her life and passion. Montana plans to continue her passion at Kirkwood Community College to study Agricultural Science to start her own swine production business, while also getting her teaching degree to become an ag teacher/advisor.
Jane Bostian, Karin Mairet, and Tammi Edwards have been vital to Montana. She says, “They have made a big impact in my life through high school, if I ever had a problem they knew just the right thing to cheer me up. If I didn’t have them in my life I wouldn’t have been able to make choices and changes in the world.”
Her advice to the underclassmen is “You create your own opportunities!”
Best of Luck, Montana!
