Once the senior class graduates, I always wonder where they end up and what they’re doing these days. This school year I’d like to showcase some of our awesome Triton alums!
Student: Mariah Busch
Graduation Year: 2023
Current City: Dodge Center, MN
Mariah Busch was a student who was heavily involved in many aspects of Triton High School during her time here. She was a student athlete who participated on several different volleyball teams, she was involved in groups like student council, SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and BPA (Business Professionals of America), she was a mentor in Big Brothers Big Sisters and excelled in academics showcased by her participation in Minnesota Honors Society and PSEO and Concurrent coursework. She credits her involvement in all of these clubs and groups to exposing her to “many different opportunities that allowed her to learn and grow and prepare for life outside of high school.” Being so involved also allowed her to create many fond memories of high school. In particular, she remembers BPA as one of her favorite memories of Triton High School, especially when she earned a trip to Nationals two years in a row with Ms. Goossens. She also shares that Mrs. Wotherspoon was her favorite teacher because “she was always so dedicated to helping all students while having fun, making jokes and always having a positive attitude.” But her favorite classes were Pre-Calculus and Calculus because she loved math and Mr. O’Brien was a great teacher who made learning math lots of fun.
Two short years later, Mariah has already graduated from nursing school from Rasmussen University with her RN and will soon begin working at Mayo Clinic. She advises current Triton students to “take advantage of every opportunity given to you and have fun!” Congratulations on your degree, Mariah and best wishes as you begin the next step of your journey at Mayo Clinic!
