Marley said: "The moment I stepped onto campus, I knew it was home. The entire wrestling community welcomed me and made me feel like I belonged here. I had found the place where I was meant to be."

From Coach Harris: "Our first commits from the last 3 years have all been great in-staters , with Anna Patz in Class of '25, Finnley Kellerman in Class of '26, and now Marley. All similar as they are awesome people, great students, and tough competitors. Marley is very committed to her journey to excel in everything she does, getting in a lot of individual work with BU alum and 3x national champ Lucas Lovvorn. Baker has had a long history of great athletes from Holton in all sports, and we are very excited to add Marley to that list!"

Cailee’s NHS Passion Project: I recently completed my passion project for NHS. For my project, I created Easter gift boxes for my residents at the nursing home I am employed at, The Pines. These gift boxes each included a stress ball, chapstick, lotion, and a fun stuffed animal. I was able to hand them out on Easter Day and enjoy the residents’ reactions to getting a gift!

Last month, three of our students stepped into leadership roles at the Topeka Model United Nations conference and represented our district with professionalism, confidence, and skill.

Marisa Meyer, Rebekah Lassey, and Olivia Doney each took on significant responsibilities over the two-day event, helping lead and support a full-scale simulation involving students from across the region.

Marisa served as Secretary General, a role that put her at the center of the entire conference. She delivered opening and closing remarks, supported logistics and organization, managed crisis simulations, and helped resolve delegate disputes. It’s a demanding role that requires poise and strong decision-making, and she handled it exceptionally well.

Rebekah was selected as Co-Secretary of General Assembly II and ultimately stepped in as acting Co-President. She helped set the agenda, ensured accurate tracking of resolutions and amendments, guided parliamentary procedures, supported communication among delegates, and contributed to the closing ceremony. Her ability to step up when needed speaks a lot about her leadership.

Olivia served as Co-Secretary of World Council I, supporting the flow and structure of her council. She guided delegates through parliamentary procedures, tracked amendments and resolutions, managed timing during debates, and supported the leadership team with conference logistics.

These experiences don’t just build knowledge of global issues, they build confidence, communication skills, and leadership that carries forward well beyond the classroom.

We’re proud of the way these students represented our schools and the effort they put into making the conference a success!
