*SENIOR SPOTLIGHT*
Sebastian Burk
by Neil Haug and Blake Broxterman
Meet Sebastian Christian Burk, a member of the Class of 2026. Born on September 10, 2007,
Sebastian spent most of his life in Conroe, Texas, where he was raised until the age of 16
before moving to Centralia and becoming part of the Panther family. Sebastian is the son of
Sheri Wagenschutz and Bob Burk and is a brother to Savannah, Benjamin, and Ethan.
During his time in school, Sebastian found enjoyment in band, where he was able to play the
bass guitar and express himself through music. Outside of band, one of his favorite places at
Highland was the mechanics shop, where he could work with his hands.
When it comes to teachers who made a difference, Sebastian says Mrs. Gleason stands out the
most. He shares that she “has really inspired me to become better with my vocabulary and
writing,” helping him grow both academically and personally.
Like many students, Sebastian faced challenges along the way. He says one of the hardest
things for him was learning to step out of his comfort zone and be more outgoing. Over time,
he’s grown in confidence and feels better prepared to take on the world after high school.
Some of Sebastian’s favorite memories aren’t just in the classroom, but in the everyday
moments—like sitting at the lunch table with friends at his old school, laughing and making
memories that will stick with him for years to come. When asked for his advice for next year's
senior class, he said, “Be yourself and don’t be so uptight. It’s your last year, make it worth it.
Don’t just go through the year as a shadow.”
After graduation, Sebastian is enlisted in the Army and will be doing six years while also
attending college. He hopes to study music theory and biology—combining his passions with
ambitious goals of becoming both a rockstar and a NASA scientist one day.

Dylan Figge
by Kelton Hunninghake
Jessica and Therron welcomed Dylan Figge on September 8, 2007. He lives on his family farm helping out, which he loves doing. Dylan is the only child in his family and after high school Dylan plans on staying on his family farm doing what he loves.
Throughout high school Dylan has participated in FFA and football. His favorite experience was playing football, where he built strong friendships, and made good memories. Dylan states that everyone that can participate in football should go out and don't start late. You will make so many great memories playing with friends and fighting for them. One of his favorite memories was in junior year messing around in the Ag Structures class.
Dylan credits his teachers, but his favorite is Mrs. Gleason, for preparing Dylan for the future. High school has its challenges but he pushes through it still making sure he hangs out with his friends and having fun.
To the next year's seniors Dylan offers some advice stating "Don't take senior year for granted, it goes by really quick.” When I asked Dylan what one word that sums up high school is, he stated, “Quick so enjoy high school while you can and don't wish it away.”
Dylan is ready to take on the next chapter of his life by working on the family farm. He will take everything he learned with him, not only skills but also memories, friendships, and life lessons that shaped him along the way.
