Student Ambassadors

I would like to introduce you to an exceptional group of Vantage students - the Ambassadors.

These 34 soon-to-be-seniors were hand-selected, at the recommendation of their teachers, to accept a leadership role and represent Vantage at different events and activities at school and in their home communities. In addition to serving the school in a student-leader role, meetings provide the students with focused leadership and organizational skills.

You will see these students representing Vantage at parades and community events this summer and fall. Throughout the school year, these students will serve as tour guides when there are visitors to the building. They will be on hand during new student/parent orientation at the beginning of the school year to help direct our newcomers to their labs and classrooms. In January, some of these students will share their story when we visit our participating schools and talk to sophomores about the opportunities at Vantage.  They will welcome the community to the dedication ceremony for our renovation and expansion project in the spring of 2013!

Vantage is very proud of the 2012-2013 student ambassadors. They are: Thomas Anderson, Seth Armstrong, Jesse Bowyer, Madison Braun, Matt Burgei, Justin Cass, Angel Cummings, Nick Dealey, Josh Dempsey, Cody Dugan, Eric Durre, Kasi Edwards, Cora Finfrock, Skyler Fisher, Bethanee Grote, Ryan Hatlevig, Dylan Lawson, Joseph McVay, Courtney Marquart, Austin Meyer, Zach Miller, Blake Myers, Tressa Ringwald, Jake Roop, Justina Sanders, Isaac Simerman, Mikayla Stetler, Samantha Stose, Alexandria Strickland, Luke Sullivan, Jonathan Tiller, Kayla Warnimont, Aric Webken, Ashley Wurst, and Isaac Young. Advisors for the group are Nancy Keith, Tony Unverferth, and MaryJo Wilhelm.
