Koleson C. | Jerry & Helen Wisotsky Branch

Koleson, a sophomore at Centennial High School, has been a dedicated member of the Jerry & Helen Wisotsky/Peoria Branch for the past year. Koleson is a highly motivated student, proud of his high GPA and enrollment in honors and AP courses. He’s been selected for the Honor Roll, the Pride of Paseo academic award, and earned recognition from his school’s Honor Choir. His future goals are just as impressive, with plans to attend an in-state university to study math, history, and music.

At school and in the community, Koleson is a natural leader. He has contributed significantly to his student council by organizing and running school events. At the Club, he played a pivotal role in revitalizing Peoria’s Keystone program, further showcasing his leadership skills and willingness to take initiative.

Koleson has faced a number of personal challenges, including navigating the effects of divorces within his family, which have shaped the kind of person he aspires to be and brought out his resilience. Koleson’s positive attitude, infectious energy, and commitment to bettering himself and his peers make him a standout member of his Club and community.
