Inglis teen enrolls at Kentucky

By Doug Johnston

When Inglis teenager John Wildey began his freshman year at

Dunnellon High School he had no idea what career he wanted to pursue

after high school. He enrolled in Air Force ROTC during his first year at

DHS and his future aspirations immediately became crystal clear. "I de-

cided that a commission in the U.S. Air Force was my career goal that first

year in high school", Wildey said recently. "I liked what I saw in ROTC

and have been focused on excelling in the classroom since that year".

Wildey graduated from DHS this past May with high honors; his

4.0 GPA ranked 17th in his graduating class of 244 students. His four year

average at DHS was above 3.5 earning him a high honors award and he

also was awarded with a high honors award in geometry and earned the

Scholar Athlete Award in soccer for 2004 and 2005.

Wildey was a three year nominee for Who's Who Among American High School

Students and a glance at his academic and extra curricular accomplishments leave no doubt as

to why he received that attention. He was a four year member of the color guard and served as

commander of that group one year, three year member of the drill team, member of the saber

team which he served as vice commander, and a member of the Kitty Hawk Honor Society.

These staff positions and his outstanding academic performance led to Wildey being chosen

group commander of his ROTC class his senior year?with a rank of Cadet Lt. Colonel.

varsity soccer at DHS.

At least one major university took notice of Wildey's accomplishments. The Univer-

sity of Kentucky offered the Inglis teen a full scholarship through the UK ROTC program and

he will begin classes there in August.

"I made a trip to the UK campus in the spring and I really liked it", said Wildey." I

can't wait to get started".

Tentative Hours

Despite all of his ROTC responsibilities, extra curricular activities and heavy class-

room load, Wildey also worked for nearly two years after school and on weekends at Food

Ranch Supermarket in Inglis as a stock clerk and cashier. Handling all of those responsibilities
