This year the honored salutatorian of the Class of 2009 is Jordan Elizabeth Dykstra. Jordan is the daughter of Linda and Rich Dykstra. She has been a strong student and has worked diligently throughout her four years of high school. Aside from being focused on her studies, Jordan also juggled sports, clubs, church, and work. After graduation, Jordan plans to further her education at Marian University where she will study Elementary Education. Jordan has received the AAA scholarship from Marian University. This scholarship gives Jordan $8,000 per year and was granted to her because of her class rank, ACT score, and grade point average. With this scholarship, Jordan has also been admitted into Marian University’s Honors Program and gets a free laptop.
When asked about being named Salutatorian of the Class of 2009, Jordan replied, “I worked so hard in all my classes since freshmen year, and it’s really neat to see that it paid off. It is a great honor to be salutatorian.” Jordan would like to leave some advice for the underclassman, “…get involved in lots of school activities. Sports and clubs are fun to be a part of and by being involved in them; you can develop good time management skills.”
