Upsala Sr. High Student of the Month
Upsala Area School would like to congratulate Josiah Lojovich on being selected as the November Senior High Student of the Month. Josiah is the son of Steve and Lisa Lojovich of rural Upsala. He is the youngest of five children. His older siblings are Jason, Rachel, Ruthann, and Raina.
Mr. Lojovich is involved in the Fall Play, Spring Musical, Knowledge Bowl, Choir, and Band. While these activities keep him active, he still makes time to work at Red’s Irish Pub in Swanville, participate in youth activities at his church, and work hard to be on the A Honor Roll. One activity that he gains much experience from is directing movies at church. He has also volunteered at the library and as a sound technician for various activities.
One of his favorite classes is choir. He enjoys singing and ending his day with his friends. Choir Director, Denise Cheney states, “I have had the pleasure of having Josiah in choir for three years. It has been fantastic watching him mature from that timid young gentleman, who’s voice had just changed, to the confident leader he is today.”
Josiah has had many lead roles in the drama productions at UHS. He enjoys making people laugh. Drama director, Dan Cheney, says, “It’s been a joy to work with Josiah throughout his high school years in the drama club. He has so much talent and seems to be able to strike the perfect balance of having fun and taking the production seriously.”
When asked about his future plans, Josiah stated, “I would like to move to California, direct movies, win an Oscar, and live in a house.” If anyone can make it out in California, it would be Josiah. Keep your eyes and ears open for great things in the future from Mr. Lojovich.
