Future plans: Creighton University, business marketing
WINDOM — Harriet Lohse, of Windom Area High School, is The Globe’s Outstanding Senior female and recipient of a $500 scholarship.
Lohse will graduate later this month with a 4.046 grade point average, earning her the role of valedictorian of her class. She was nominated for The Globe’s scholarship by James Burton, concurrent enrollment teacher, AVID district director, peer engagement coach and Student Senate co-advisor.
“Harriet is a tremendously selfmotivated learner and has a true thirst for knowledge,” wrote Burton. “This is evident not only in the classes I have taught her, but in her drive to take on many college classes our school offers, including economics, political science, statistics, pre-calculus, biology, and communications through speech, literature and composition.”
Lohse will attend Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, this fall to major in business marketing. It was through the CEO program in high school that Lohse learned of the wide range of opportunities a degree in marketing offers.
“It was one of the most beneficial programs,” Lohse said of the CEO program. “I landed on marketing as the business I wanted to do.”
She served on the marketing team for the class business they developed, and learned of the great need for marketing assistance for local businesses.
“I love to do graphic design and the human relations part of it,” she said.
This school year, as part of her senior capstone project, Lohse discovered that the school’s band program was beginning to shrink as prospective musicians could not afford an instrument.
After researching the issue, Lohse -- the flute section leader in band and participant in honors band -- organized a band instrument drive at the school and within
the community. In the end, she collected 20 instruments and raised about $500. She gave the money to the high school band department to fund instrument repairs, reeds and oil and to purchase instruments as needed.
In addition to her involvement in band, Lohse served as president of the student senate this year, is a member of the National Honor Society, was varsity soccer captain, speech captain and was in varsity track. She recently placed fifth overall in the Minnesota State Speech tournament, and was named the district’s 2025 Triple A Award winner.
Lohse volunteers in the high school drama department, helping with program fundraising, choreographing dances and being a positive influence and leader among fellow drama students, shared Burton.
“Harriet’s commitment to her studies stems from a genuine appreciation for learning, rather than solely focusing on grades or test scores,” Burton wrote in the nomination letter. “Harriet encapsulates all the qualities that make a student exceptional and possesses the skills to be an incredible leader now and in the future.
“She is truly an incredible role model for all our students and exemplifies all the qualities that make an outstanding senior and individual.”
Hudson Schryvers
Murray County Central Future plans: University of South Dakota, biology toward pre-med SLAYTON — Hudson Schryvers of Murray County Central was chosen as The Globe’s 2025 Outstanding Senior Male award winner, and will receive a $500 scholarship from the newspaper.
Schryvers was nominated for the award by Murray County Central Principal Jacob Scandrett, who noted that the MCC senior is “on track to graduate as one of the topranked seniors.” Final class rank will not be determined until the end of the last semester.
“Hudson is a well-rounded individual who works hard, is a friend to all, and is active in our school programs,” Scandrett shared in his letter nominating Schryvers for the scholarship.
Schryvers will attend the University of South Dakota in Vermillion this fall to pursue a major in biology with intentions to go pre-med. At this point, he said he’s hoping to pursue a career in surgery.
“I’ve always been interested in helping people and solving problems and figuring out the issues — just trying to make a difference,” Schryvers said.
Both of his parents work in the medical field, and he said they have been very good role models as
they help and guide him.
Schryvers took dual enrollment classes as a junior and senior through Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall, setting him up to start college in the fall with approximately enough credits to be considered a sophomore. That’s good, considering he’s looking at between nine and 12 years of schooling to become a surgeon.
Despite his course load, Schryvers found time to be involved in numerous school activities, from serving on the student council and being a member of the National Honor Society, to participation in band (he’s played the trombone for seven years), football, basketball and baseball his senior year. During previous spring seasons he spent two years in track and three years in golf.
As a student council member, he assisted with activities such as the food drive, Relay for Life, Coaches vs. Cancer and is currently helping to organize Teacher Recognition Week at MCC.
Schryvers was also in Knowledge Bowl for three years, opting to focus more on his college courses as a senior. For something new this year, he volunteered as a teacher’s aide during the third and fourth quarters, helping out in a second grade classroom.
“I didn’t think I’d ever be interested in teaching,” he said. “I enjoy being around the kids — they’re open and honest, and they’re eager to learn.
“It wakes you up and keeps you on your toes at 8:30 in the morning,” he added with a laugh.
Scandrett said actions by Schryvers is why he was nominated for the Outstanding Senior award.
“One of the things I appreciate about Hudson is that he is a good citizen of our school,” Scandrett said. “He is a friend to all and willing to go out of his way to make others feel included.”
Schryvers, meanwhile, said he appreciated his education at Murray County Central, noting that the school creates a lot of opportunities, whether dual sports or dual enrollment.
“I’m super thankful for that,” he said. “It helps you really set up your future and give you a look at what’s available. That’s really helped me set up my path.”
