The epitome of a dirt bike rider, Austin Schultz has spent his last four years at Joseph Charter focusing on pushing his body on the cross-country course, track, and wrestling mat, revving his engines, and harnessing his internal torque, facing his academics like a steep, rocky trail, and cutting loose. Kind-hearted and supportive, Austin’s favorite memory at Joseph Charter was building a go-kart in shop class and crashing it into multiple buildings. Next year, Austin plans on working for his dad before heading off to trade school.

Mechanically inclined, salt of the earth reclined, and always able to unwind, Jenning Schiefelbein takes a “mostly” practical, sensible, and realistic approach to life. However, some moments can make you a legend, and Jenning is a true legend at Joseph Charter School. You should ask him about it sometime. His best memory at Joseph Charter was building a golf cart in the shop and watching it flip. Next year, Jenning is going to Wyo Tech in Laramie, Wyoming, to study diesel mechanics.
