Hailey Jade Volner entered this world on September 30, 2006 to Meggan Septer and Matthew Volner. She is the oldest of several siblings that include Sally Volner, Gracie-Lynn Stienes, Kristian Urnez, and Hailey Hawk.
Her grandparents are Sherri and Leon Bousselot and Clinton and Amy Urnez.
Nicknamed Jade-Lo or Jade, she has been a member of the Class of 2025 for six years. During her high school years, Jade has been a cheerleader for football and wrestling. When not busy with school responsibilities, she enjoys arts and crafts and hanging out with her friends.
Her special moment was coming to this school and becoming friends with many people. Jade singles out any moment from middle school as her most embarrassing.
When asked what is special about her class, Jade said, “We are close and care for one another.” Her advice to the underclassmen is to make friends with anyone and everyone and enjoy your time in high school.
When asked to pick anyone she’d like to single out for special recognition, she singled out her mom, Meggan Septer, for being there for me when I needed her the most and always giving me a good laugh. She also picked Her Aunt Rachele Thornburg and her cousin Aubry Farnsworth for always being her jokesters.
Jade plans on attending SCC next year. She is most looking forward to “seeing where I go in life after high school.”
Tiger Nation knows Jade will follow her dreams and wishes her the best in all her endeavors!
