Jordyn Wilson Senior

The Marathon Weekly is proud to partner with Marathon High School faculty and students in choosing “The Student of the Week.” Recipients are chosen on qualifications including academic standing, athletics, outstanding achievements, community involvement, individuality and moral fortitude. We thank our future leaders and MHS for allowing us to share in a weekly dose of “Fin Pride,” and for giving us a glimpse into their world.

What is something most people don’t know about you? I come from a military family and have lived in five states.

Who is your all-time favorite teacher and why? Chef Stanton is my favorite because he has been there for me since freshman year, and always pushed me to be the best.

What does “a good education” mean to you? It means learning how to do things I will need for real life.

What is something you know now that you didn’t know when you were a freshman? Credit cards are actually awful.

What organizations and activities are you involved with at MHS and why are they important to you? I’m in weightlifting, captain of the culinary team and secretary of NAHS. All of these programs have made me a happier, healthier person.

What do you hope to be remembered for at MHS? Being creative and talented.

What is one favorite way to spend your spare time? I love to bake everything from pies to cookies.
