CONGRATULATIONS Daniel! The staff at Tripp-Delmont wishes you the best of luck in your future!
Daniel James Huether was born to Sheldon and Vicki Huether on August 12, 2005. Throughout high school, Daniel participated in band for three years and football for three years. During his senior year, the seniors mentored the kindergarten class, with Daniel mentoring Spencer Lau. Reflecting on his time in high school, one thing he wishes he would have done differently is go out for football his freshman year. A coach who has had a significant impact on Daniel during his high school experience is “Mr. Erlandson because he helped me have more confidence.” Daniel says people will remember him as the quiet kid because he never talked as much as the rest of his class. His final thought about his high school career ending is, “I finally made it!” Daniel plans on farming after he graduates high school.
CONGRATULATIONS Morgan! The staff at Tripp-Delmont wishes you the best of luck in your future!
Senior Morgan Ruby Gemar is the daughter of Mark and Jennifer Gemar. After graduation, she plans to attend Southeast Tech and major in Early Childhood Education. Morgan expresses that she is “falling in her parent's footsteps,” as her parents, both elementary school teachers, greatly inspired her to pursue a career in education. Besides having a familial connection toward the career, working with young kids throughout high school also helped her realize her passion. During high school, Morgan was involved in volleyball, cheerleading, the National Honor Society, band, choir, peer mentoring, and theater. She was a class officer, holding the position of secretary/treasurer all four years of high school. She recalls volleyball and cheerleading most prominently since she spent many years in the respective activities, stating that they have taught her “perseverance and how to work through hard challenges.” When asked what advice she would offer incoming underclassmen, Morgan recommends they be involved in high school activities, events, and even with the elementary kids to “become a role model that they will look up to.” In ten years, she can see herself as a teacher of a preschool class and hopefully married. She believes that the memory she leaves at Tripp-Delmont will be one of hard work and effort from everything she has contributed to the school through sports and activities, noting that they didn’t come easy for her. “I had to work hard to earn my spots on the team and get good grades,” she says, reflecting her dedication and passion for her sports, school, and community.
CONGRATULATIONS Harley! The staff at Tripp-Delmont wishes you the best of luck in your future!
On January 21, 2005, Harley Jean Elam was born to Kari and Julius Elam ll. Harley has two brothers and one sister. She attended Parkston High School until transferring to Tripp-Delmont, joining the class of 2024 in her sophomore year. Some challenges Harley faced and overcame in high school were getting a solo in the chorus, going out for volleyball, and participating in the play. Harley said her most memorable experiences and achievements were participating in volleyball, getting out of her comfort zone to perform the solo at a concert, and working with kindergarten students. When asked if there was anything she wished she had known or done differently during high school, Harley responded, "Don't be a people pleaser, and don't be in a hurry for a relationship or something. Just go slow and take your time, and work hard." When asked what the stupidest thing you've ever done was, she replied, "The stupidest thing she has ever done was cutting her hair and trying to hide it and smacking her brother with a ruler." After graduation, Harley plans to enter the workforce for a year and then attend college. Harley sees herself in 10 years having a family and being surrounded by friends.
