Winona R-III School District

🎓 Senior Spotlight: McKenzie SaraJane Redman 🎓 McKenzie SaraJane Redman is the granddaughter of Lisa and Macky Redman and the sister of Makail, Chasidy, and Bella. She didn’t participate in extracurricular activities during high school, but she considers working one of her favorite hobbies. One of McKenzie’s favorite memories from high school was going to the shop show during her junior year. When she thinks about what she’ll miss most, she says it will be simply being around her friends. She shared that her favorite teacher is Mrs. Ipock, explaining that whenever an assignment was due and students weren’t finished, Mrs. Ipock would kindly change the due date. McKenzie’s advice to underclassmen is to do everything you can because high school goes by quicker than you think. One important lesson she learned is to complete homework when it’s assigned, since waiting often led to forgetting it. Her favorite subject was science with Mrs. Dixon. After graduating in May, McKenzie plans to attend college to become an ultrasound technician. She hopes to be remembered as someone who always pushed through, completing and turning in her work even when she doubted herself. Her goal for senior year is to finish strong with good grades and prepare for the next chapter in her education. Here are a few things you may or may not know about McKenzie: Her favorite meal is chicken tenders with mashed potatoes, and chicken tenders are the one food she could eat every day for the rest of her life. Her favorite TV show is The Summer I Turned Pretty. Something not many people know about her is that she can fall asleep just about anywhere. She dreams of traveling to Hawaii one day, and she says the person who has influenced her most is Mrs. Ipock, who has helped her grow and improve as a person—especially over the last three years of high school. Congratulations, McKenzie! Your dedication, kindness, and determination have shaped a bright future ahead.
