Wesley Jackson is the son of Andrew Jackson and Elisabeth Fostich. Throughout high school he was involved in cross country, track, national honor society, FFA, working at Rockin O’ Farms, his uncle’s farm, and a constitutional seminar once a week. He plans to attend University of Missouri- Kansas City to potentially study law. What he is looking forward to the most next year is not having to attend school in the mornings. A past teacher he’d like to thank is retired math teacher Mrs. Spunagle. His biggest achievement in high school was placing at cross country state. His favorite memory from high school was track meets because they were fun. What he will miss the most from high school is the people. His advice to a younger student is, “If you want to talk about something, get educated about it. Read books, get a deep understanding for what you care about.”
