2019-2020 Dance Team helping at the fundraiser for Avery Kellogg
Lucas Anschutz is the son of Jeremy and Jacki Anschutz.
Lucas thinks he was selected because of how involved he is in sports and clubs. And because of my leadership roles in them, while also being able to keep my grades up in the classroom.
Throughout his high school years, Lucas has been involved in Football, Wrestling, Golf, Track and FFA.
When asked, Mr. Flax said, “Lucas does a great job in weights and conditioning. He comes prepared everyday and puts out his best effort. I believe that Lucas was chosen for student of the month because of his positive attitude and his work ethic in the classroom and in the activities that he participates in.”
After high school, Lucas will take classes from Barton County toward a degree in Physical Therapy.
