IHS valedictorian: Jaydon Morrison glad to reap reward of hard work

Iola High School senior Jaydon Morrison always had a passion for learning. He plans to become a science teacher and then administrator.

Academic excellence comes naturally for Iola senior Jaydon Morrison. “I had always been getting As throughout grade school and middle school,” he said. “I made the decision freshman year that I was going to dedicate these four years to it. I’ve always enjoyed doing the schoolwork, though.”

This hard work and attitude has paid off with Morrison being named as one of Iola High School’s valedictorians. He shares this distinction with his sister, Jenna. “She has helped me a lot,” he noted. “We studied a lot together. She helped keep me on track and up-to-date on my homework. She has been a great asset.”

Although he enjoys the schoolwork, Jaydon acknowledges the achievement was no easy task. “At times it was tedious with all of the course work and extra hours of dedication,” he said. “It’s rewarding, though, and not something that I’m going to regret.”
