Senior Spotlight 2025
Savanah Seeley
Soft-spoken Savanah Seeley is an empathetic and kind soul; her nature is one of peace and support. While she shies away from the spotlight, she wants to see others succeed and supports others with kindness and compassion. No surprise that one of her main passions in life is taking care of animals. “Animals are amazing and incredible,” says Savanah. “They just make life better.” This centrifugal force of caretaking in Savanah’s life has inspired her dream of becoming a veterinarian or teacher. Savannah’s advice: “Don’t leave your dog alone; take it to school with you and see what happens.”

"In the heart of Joseph Charter School:
Two friendly faces, steady guides,
calm and patient with Eagle Pride,
greeting each challenge with quiet grace,
keeping order in this crazy-busy place!
Today we thank you, sincere and true,
this school runs better because of you.
From morning bells to the end of day,
for the next two hours we are sending you away."

Senior Spotlight
Gavin Russell
“Russell the Muscle” has been heavy-lifting academics and iron since sixth grade. Often found with bags of chicken, doughnuts, and milk nearby, Gavin’s hunger is for everything rational. Hungry? Eat chicken. Need to build some muscle? Eat chicken. Somebody making assumptions? Tell them not to count their chickens before they are hatched. After graduation, Gavin will become famous for his talk radio show, which will turn into him being paid millions of dollars as a comedic sketch writer. Or he will learn a trade. Or he will do both while raising chickens. Regardless, the possibilities are limitless for this super-smart, strong, and compassionate critical thinker and joker.

Adecyn Page
Guide on the side instead of a Page on the stage, Adecyn is an empathetic sprinter. 100 meters, no problem. 200 meters, bring it! 400 meters, boo-yah. Mile? Forget about it. Hailing from Olean, NY, Adecyn came to Joseph her junior year and has become a mainstay in the halls. “How could she ever not have ended up in Joseph?” asks her fans and admirers. Adecyn plans on majoring in psychology next year. Her advice? “Don’t take school for granted.”
Senior Spotlight 2025
Basey Dawson
“In school, you’re taught a lesson, then given a test. In life, you’re given a test, then taught a lesson.” A hard-working, fun-loving, kind-hearted, fast-talking rancher, Basey Dawson takes the tests of life with a thick skin, then philosophizes about the lessons. Pursuing an Ag Business degree at BMCC after graduation, this student, who is part-veterinarian, part-trickster, tends to brighten people’s days with her humor and wit. Basey once caught a deer with her bare hands, pulled her first lamb at three, and had a horse bump her off a cliff in Hell’s Canyon. Here’s to more of life’s tests!
Senior Spotlight
Kellen Crenshaw
Rock solid, water fluid, woodgrain grown, Kellen Crenshaw is a multigenerational expression of Wallowa County. His high-energy enthusiasm lends itself well to hard work, problem-solving through tough situations, and his never-quit attitude. Tough as basalt, adaptable as water, Kellen has filled a variety of roles during his years at Joseph Charter: team leader, selfless sacrificer, class joker, and energizer. Kellen’s advice to underclassmen is to “Take care of your cows, clear the trees that need clearing, and buckle down.” His favorite memory was making it to the state championship in football in 2023. Next year, he’s headed to BMCC to major in Agriculture.
Senior Spotlight 2025
Juan Vargas
A young man on a historical mission, Juan Vargas is a walking encyclopedia of dates, political, social, economic, and cultural knowledge. He is a classic Chevy Malibu cruising down a two-lane critical thinking road, destination: military college. Hoo-ah. Juan says he has a lot of favorite memories about the legal and illegal shenanigans of his class. “Don’t do what I did and stay on top of your assignments,” says Juan, “because once that ship sails, it becomes ancient history.”

Some of the masterpieces creating by students in the Needle Felting CAP Classes this spring. Super cute.
One of the spring CAP Classes was learning to tie flies with Mr. Scott. On the final day of CAP Classes the kids got to go to Kinney Lake and try out the flies they made. From the looks of it, they were pretty successful!
Today, all band students in grades 5-12 got together for a mass rehearsal. They will be performing a song together at the spring concert on May 14th.
