Mark Mehochko
‘A driven, unique young man’
Seneca High student has many talents STEPHANIE JAQUINS For The Times
In the span of a recent week for Seneca High School senior Mark Mehochko, he competed in a regional scholastic bowl meet and performed in five shows of the spring musical, using a French accent to play the part of Lumière in “Beauty and the Beast.” That alone may seem like a lot for the average high school student, but Mehochko, of Mazon, wasn’t done. He competed in the District FFA Profiency Award interviews as he described and defended his garden mum production project. He was honored at the National Honor Society ceremony where he performed his speech team routine. He spent time in the gym practicing for a pole vault and also composed a speech for an upcoming FFA public speaking event. And according to his agriculture teacher, Jeff Maierhofer, he did each of them well. “I would describe Mark as a driven, unique young man with a wide variety of talents,” Maierhofer said.
