Luke Yoakum is the son of Jessica and Richard Yoakum. Throughout high school he was involved in Football, Archery, Track and Field, Student Council, FFA, Wackerman Construction. He plans to attend the University of Central Missouri within the aviation program and he’d like to become a private pilot afterwards. If he could go back to freshman year he would’ve been, “More involved in my school and I would have joined more activities.” A teacher he’d like to thank would be, “Mrs. Spunagle was a great math teacher, she helped me through Algebra 2, College Algebra, and Trigonometry.” His biggest achievement was “Becoming an FFA officer for our schools chapter.” His best memory from high school was, “Probably the time that my friends and I went and played tips in the south school gym for 4 hours straight.” If he goes to his ten year reunion he hopes to have accomplished, “Hopefully I will be a private pilot by then, and I would like to be married as well.” His advice to a younger student is, “Try out activities that you’re interested in, you never know you might be good at it or may make new friends.”
