Summary
Senior student Pete Hansen told the Santiam Canyon SD 129J board he plans to join the U.S. Air Force to become an aviation mechanic, described his involvement in athletics and CTE, and praised the district's community environment.
Pete Hansen, a senior, spoke to the board about his four years in athletics and career-technical education programs and said he intends to enlist in the U.S. Air Force to train as an aviation mechanic after graduation. He credited multiple coaches and teachers for supporting his experiences and said the district's small-school community makes him feel safe and supported.
