NHS-Scholar Athletes Named (2021)

Jonah Zoschke and Bella Opelt, who both recently graduated from Neillsville High 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.



Bella Opelt, daughter of Ryan and Sunni Opelt, graduated with summa cum laude academic recognition, after maintaining a 3.96 grade-point average. Bella participated in volleyball, basketball and softball. Bella earned all-conference recognition in all three sports. Bella will be attending Ripon College this fall and will play basketball there.

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.
