Nikiski Middle-High School<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bethany Carstens, Kelsey Clark, and Emma Wik
\nClass of 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bethany Carstens, Kelsey Clark, and Emma Wik have been friends for what seems like forever. \u201cThey grew up together in our small community of Nikiski and did everything together for the last 14 years,\u201d said Principal Dan Carstens. “Not only are they at or near the top of their class academically, but they all compete at the highest level in volleyball, basketball, and track and soccer, racking up multiple all-conference, all-state and MVP honors during their high school careers while helping their teams raise three state banners during their time at Nikiski. All this while showing kindness and respect to teammates, coaches, and opposing players.”
