It’s four year planning time again, and ADM’s extensive course catalog can be a mess to make sense of. How do you choose which classes to take? To help us answer this question, current students in the Culinary II, Individualized Reading, Home Construction and Maintenance and Visual Storytelling electives tell us what they think about the classes they’re taking this semester.

On a Wednesday in class, groups of Culinary II students make pizza using toppings of their choice. Freshman Brady Johns had Chef Kubiak first semester, for Culinary I, and now has Ms. Armstrong for Culinary II. "(Culinary II) Is really interesting," Johns said. "And cooking is a life skill that everyone's gonna need when they're older."

![Rhyan Miller is the April student of the month. Miller is the daughter of Charity and Rich Miller, and has maintained a 3.925 GPA. Her three favorite classes in high school have been drama as literature, Prostart II, and news journalism. Miller participates in cross country, theater, individual and large group speech, the prostart team, student council, NHS, silver cord, and track. She feels that her experiences in those activities have made her more extroverted, sharing that she is "not afraid of [her] own voice anymore." Miller plans to attend Winona State University to major in psychology and minor in political science. Her advice to others is to "Fake it 'till you make it." She feels she was selected as student of the month due to her increased active presence in the classroom. She is also thankful for the good parking spot. In honor of her achievements, Raccoon Valley Bank has donated $100 to the ADM Scholarship Foundation.](https://blackandredgister.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/20260427_104331-1200x900.jpg)
