Junior Jillian Prall and senior Mackenzie Ludwig perform their parts of the Snow White portion of the show in front of their elementary school audience. “My favorite part about the show is the friends Ive made in the class and the time we spend together,” Prall said. “Ive made tons of new friends through this show and having the opportunity to do this with my friends has been the absolute highlight of my year.”

Oh, how Charming!

Standing on stage, junior Gabrielle Carnes recites lyrics from a song, “From up Here,” by Jon Jorgenson. “I’m excited, I’m not sure if I want my poem [this year] to either be funny or hard-hitting to the point it makes others really think about it.” Carnes participated in poetry day last year and plans on doing it again this year.

Many students work through local businesses, a large portion in customer service or retail. “Ive been working in customer service for over a year now, and I definitely think students need a break sometimes,” senior Kendall Culpert said. “There have been times Ive felt really stressed because of everything going on in my life, between homework, work, and my other activities [sports, hobbies, school clubs].”

Student Council provided a wide variety of breakfast foods to welcome new students to the Ike community. “To provide some comfort as a human act of kindness [through this event] is a great thing,” Associate Principal Kate Walker said.

The revolving sushi bar can be seen from the outside of the building, easily interesting customers. This Kura sushi location opened in February 2021, making it the first location in Michigan. Despite being open for over a year, the waiting room stays packed, no matter the day of the week.

Junior Chase Schwarz practices karate. At the end of practice, the class read the The Black Belt Commitment. The creed not only has taught me all of that, but it helps me keep those virtues close to me on and off the mat, Schwarz said.

Students fill out their schedules for the next school year. “Honestly, I dislike required classes. I understand the need for some of the classes and I find a few of them to be pretty informational, but others I would hardly pass on. In some of them, no learning is being done and kids could be doing something so much more beneficial to their career,” junior Leviathan Rossi said. Rossi chose to opt out of his required courses in his senior year and replace them with other classes he would enjoy.

Assistant to the Principal Alicia Singer stands alongside the dedicated mural to the 2022 graduating class. “My love for education was so strong but couldn’t transition into the K-12 world- I did not have a teaching certificate yet,” Singer said.

To celebrate her retirement, the staff gather to clap off and congratulate retiring teacher Lawanda Parker. “Im really going to miss the students because I was able to work with them all of the time, but I certainly miss a lot of teachers. You have great teachers working there, they work very hard and serve the district very well. The success of the district is dependent on those teachers,” Parker said. Parker taught for 51 years.
