Salutatorian: Quinn Ehlen

If someone were to look back on Quinn Ehlen’s high school career at BSM, they would come across a lot of
impressive accomplishments. Not only is Quinn one of only four salutatorians in the class of 2018, but he is also a two year lacrosse captain, executive president of the student council, link crew commissioner, and Flyer’s captain. Achieving a 3.99 GPA is something that Quinn has worked extremely hard for and is very proud of. “I am happy with how my high school academic career ended up. It was good to see all of my hard work pay off,” Quinn said.

The only class the Quinn was not able to get an A in was the second semester of Ms. Brew’s Honors English 9 class. Quinn finished the semester with a 93% coming up just a few points short of the 94% that he needed to get an A. “While getting an A- certainly was not ideal, I do think it helped me in the long run because it told me that I had to improve my writing skills,” Quinn said.

If Quinn were to give a tip to younger students who wish to imitate his success, he would tell them to do as much of their homework during the school day as they can and to utilize their free hour so they do not have to spend much time on homework at home.

Quinn hopes to outdo his stellar high school academic performance next year while he is attending the Carlson Business School at the University of Minnesota. “The A- I got my freshman year was very unfortunate and I hope that I will be able to pull off a 4.0 in college,” Quinn said.
