Rylee describes herself as driven, a quality she has demonstrated throughout her time in school and athletics. One of her proudest accomplishments was starting varsity softball as a seventh grader, an opportunity that challenged her to grow and push herself to improve. Over the years, that experience helped her become a team captain and leader, and she now enjoys coaching younger softball players, hoping to inspire them and help them enjoy the sport just as much as she has.
One of Rylee’s favorite high school memories was a junior year trip to the state capital, a memorable experience shared with classmates. Outside of school, she enjoys golfing and spending time at the lake with friends and family.
Rylee says the people she admires most are her parents, who have always demonstrated the value of hard work and never missed an important moment in her life. Their support and dedication have played a major role in shaping who she is today.
A quote that has helped guide her is “All lights turned off can be turned on,” by Noah Kahan, a reminder that even during difficult times, there is always hope and the possibility for things to get better.
Her favorite teachers and coaches are Gus and Savannah, who have supported her through both good and challenging moments and helped shape her into the athlete and person she is today. In the classroom, her favorite subject is English, where she enjoys the engaging and fun environment created by Ms. Hurst.
If Rylee had a theme song that played every time she walked into a room, it would be “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue” by Toby Keith.
When she graduates from DPHS, Rylee hopes to be remembered as someone who was determined to achieve her goals and make the most of every opportunity.

If she had a theme song, it would be “Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina and the Waves ,which is a perfect match for her upbeat outlook. Her favorite quote, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift” by Eleanor Roosevelt, reflects how she focuses on living in the present.
Lily admires her mom most for her determination, balancing a full-time job, running a small business, and still making time for family. One of her favorite school memories is playing Bean Boozled in Ms. Hurst’s class. It was gross, but unforgettable.
In her free time, Lily enjoys baking, sewing, reading, and spending time with her animals. Known for staying involved and maintaining strong grades despite a busy schedule, she’s especially proud of balancing school, activities, and personal interests.
She says she’ll be remembered for missing a lot of school but still staying active and successful. Her favorite teacher, Ms. Hurst, stands out for making class fun and caring about her students, and her favorite class is art for its relaxing atmosphere.
With a positive attitude and strong work ethic, Lily is ready to take on her next adventure.

Tyler describes himself in one word: prudent. Known for his dedication in athletics, he says he will likely be remembered most for his commitment to track and field. One of his proudest accomplishments was qualifying for the state track meet, a milestone that reflects the time and effort he has invested in the sport.
One of Tyler’s favorite high school memories was competing on the 4x800 relay team during his freshman year in 2023, an experience that helped shape his passion for running and teamwork.
Outside of the classroom, Tyler enjoys running, gaming, watching and playing basketball and football, and competing in track and field. His favorite class is math, which he enjoys because it comes naturally to him and connects with his interest in data science.
Tyler says the person he most admires is LeBron James, whose work ethic and success both on and off the court have made him a role model. His favorite teacher and coach is Mr. Kopff, whom Tyler describes as “a cool, genuine dude and a good coach.”
If Tyler had a theme song that played every time he walked into a room, it would be “The Man” by Aloe Blacc.
Tyler looks forward to continuing both his academic and athletic career at UND.
