Name: Jacob Benfield
Parents: Paul and Melissa Benfield
School: Mishicot High School
Grade: Senior
GPA: 3.745
What extracurricular activities have you been involved with during high school? I’ve been involved in sports including wrestling, football, track and cross country through high school. Other involvement includes doing musicals all four years of high school, doing a mentorship program since sophomore year, and participating in solo and ensemble for the past two years.
What is one academic accomplishment about which you feel particularly good? I am participating in the Rising Phoenix program through the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. I’ll be graduating high school with my associate’s in arts and sciences with a total of 71 college credits. This was an amazing opportunity to have, and I feel it helped me become a more developed person overall. I would like to give all credit and glory to God, who gives me my strength.
Which class or extracurricular activity influenced your decision regarding the career you plan to pursue? The tech ed classes I’ve taken have given me confidence and the idea to pursue engineering. I’ve always been interested in how things work, and with the classes I’ve taken it’s gotten me interested in electrical or mechanical engineering as a career.
What advice do you have for those just starting their high school career? Some advice I would have is to just try it, whatever it may be. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t good or if it’s hard to do, it’ll be something you can learn from and be able to remember back on.
What are your plans after high school? I plan on continuing my education through Luther College in Iowa in the engineering field. I’m also interested in wrestling on their team while I study there.
What would you like to be doing 10 years from now? I would like to be married and settled down with a quality career and family. It sounds simple, but that’s the kind of life I want.
Teacher recommendation: “I have had the pleasure of knowing Jacob the last four years as an advisee as well as a math student. Jacob is a personable young man and is thoughtful of others. He has consistently displayed maturity, cooperativeness, honesty and dependability. Jacob has been a conscientious student with unlimited potential. His strong work ethic will lend itself well for a successful future.” — Kelly Krause, math teacher/adviser

Being a part of this program has allowed me to take a variety of classes to prepare me for my future. I will graduate high school with an associate of arts and sciences.
Which class or extracurricular activity influenced your decision regarding the career you plan to pursue? I plan on pursuing a career in agriculture, specifically in agribusiness. At Mishicot, I have been able to take courses such as Intro to Ag, Intro to Horticulture, Ag Business, Floral Design, and Mishicot Managers, which helped me decide on my career path.
What advice do you have for those just starting their high school career? I strongly encourage you to become involved in extracurricular activities, whether that be sports or clubs. Being involved allows you to find new friends and create memories with them while volunteering for your community.
