Garrett continues to spend a lot of time practicing his game as he has dreams to eventually play professional basketball. However, in the meantime, he will be moving to Oregon to pursue a degree in business. He already has a jump on college due to his hard work here at Ninilchik participating in jumpstart classes through Kenai Peninsula College (KPC). During his salutatorian speech, he commended his coach, Nick Finley, for assisting him to develop into the person and player that he is. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Connect with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NinilchikSchool\/\">Ninilchik School on Facebook<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Connect with the <a href=\"http:\/\/ninilchikschool.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/\">Ninilchik School website<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Kenai Peninsula Borough School District\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/\">KPBSD.org<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The mission of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District is to empower all learners to positively shape their futures.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/files\/2019\/07\/Ninilchik-Garrett-Koch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-5580\" src=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/files\/2019\/07\/Ninilchik-Garrett-Koch-726x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Ninilchik Garrett Koch\" width=\"385\" height=\"543\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ninilchik School Garrett Koch, Class of 2019 Garrett Koch came to Ninilchik in the sixth grade. \u201cHe immediately fell into the routine that a lot of Wolverines fall into, and &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/2019\/07\/19\/kpbsd-inspiration-garrett-koch-ninilchik-school-classof2019\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;KPBSD inspiration: Garrett Koch, Ninilchik School #ClassOf2019&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":126,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[241,430,736],"class_list":["post-5578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kpbsd-district-stories","tag-class-of-2019","tag-garrett-koch","tag-ninilchik-school"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/126"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5578\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
