This week's senior spotlight shines on Seth Dinius. He is the son of Jill Stevens. Activities: FCCLA, P.A.C.T, LYO Favorite Class: History classes are my favorite. I like the old adage, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Plus Mr. Locken is a pretty cool dude. :) Favorite Teacher: For me it would have to be Mr. Locken. Not only is he empathetic and supportive, but also is an excellent teacher who seems to care for the well-being of his students. He is a man I will admire, appreciate, and remember for years to come. Favorite School Memory: The intense Uno games that are hosted in the history room before Christmas and summer breaks. Future Plans: Attend BSC for an associate's degree in carpentry and then work as an independent carpenter in Wells County. Congratulations Seth!
