Frontier Academy students graduate early; board and staff highlight students’ pathways
Summary
Five Frontier Academy students received diplomas during the Jan. 14 board meeting; students and staff described individual journeys and next steps including job training, college and military service.
Five students from Frontier Academy were presented diplomas at the Jan. 14 meeting of the Fremont County School District No. 25 Board of Trustees, and staff and students used the occasion to describe the personal and educational steps that led to early graduation.
The graduates presented to the board were Kylie Blumenshine, Cheyenne Haviland, Joaquin (last name not specified), John Magnan and Presley Mills. Principal and staff members introduced the students and recounted how the alternative‑education setting aided their progress.
Kylie Blumenshine told the board that Frontier had helped her “through many things in my life, not only with school, but bumps and detours life threw in my way.” She said Frontier staff taught her “true kindness [and] acceptance” and credited staff with helping her graduate early; she said she planned to work and attend college and initially aimed to pursue a cosmetology license before deciding to enroll in a certified nursing assistant class.
Cheyenne Haviland described arriving “from Vegas” and said she initially resisted participation but later “dropped her guard,” became “resilient” and is now enrolled in a CNA class. Joaquin said Frontier helped him graduate early and that he planned to attend Wind River Job Corps to study electrical work. John Magnan said Frontier allowed him to graduate faster and that he plans to join the U.S. Marine Corps, with a reported ship‑out date of Feb. 10.
Staff introductions included classroom teachers and support staff who recalled each student’s progress. Teachers emphasized relationship‑building and individualized support as key factors in students’ success at Frontier.
Board members and meeting attendees offered congratulations; the chair formally presented diplomas “each of whom have completed the requirements set forth by the board of trustees to earn their diploma for Fremont County School District number 25 as graduates of Frontier High School.”
