School, will receive medals from the WIAA for being selected as the school’s
2021 Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Associations (WIAA) Scholar Athletes.
Jonah Zoschke, son of Matt and Amy Zoschke, graduate with summa cum laude
academic recognition, for maintaining a 3.98 grade-point average. Jonah
participated in football, hockey and baseball. Jonah earned all-conference
recognition in all three sports. Jonah will attend UW-La Crosse this fall.

Each year, member high schools of the WIAA are invited to nominate one boy and
one girl for Scholar Athlete honors. The program, which is underwritten by the
Marshfield Clinic, was launched in 1984 to demonstrate the positive impact of
interscholastic athletic activities.
To qualify for WIAA Scholar Athlete recognition, a nominee must have earned at
least four varsity letters through the first half of his or her senior year and
must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
