Scott Calhoun, Class 30, recently celebrated with his wife, Christy, when she was named one of Idaho Business Review's Women of the Year. Christy is the daughter of John Mundt, a former Trustee who taught public speaking in the Pocatello session for a number of classes. Christy is Senior Vice President of Healthwise in Boise.

Excitement was in the air at the State FFA Leadership Conference when Lindsey Stowell was named State FFA President. Lindsay is the daughter of Michael Stowell, Class 20.
