Honorable mention: Julie Ashburn, junior, mock trial. Mock trial adviser said, "Julie plays a witness on our mock trial team.

Julie is a vital component of our team."

Emily Beutz, senior, art. Beutz' art adviser said, "Emily has taken most art classes that Brainerd High School has to offer. She completes quality work on time, works hard to solve creative problems and is willing to take risks to achieve desired results. Emily is a responsible student and delightful to have in class."
