Triumph student Ryker Wells named district weekly honor recipient

Laramie County School District 1 selected Triumph High School junior Ryker Wells as its student of the week for the week beginning Nov. 9. The district cited Wells for his academic performance, reliable attendance, and his general approach to schoolwork and community life.

Wells is currently on track to graduate next year, according to the district. He maintains strong grades while taking on additional responsibilities within the school. He holds a leadership position in his advisement group and works as a teacher’s assistant in the library and media center.

Beyond his classes, Wells volunteers in the ASK program, where he works with elementary students after the school day ends. His schedule includes these extra duties alongside his standard coursework.

The school community recognizes Wells for his daily habits. He follows the principles of Triumph’s Discovery program, which requires students to be prompt, prepared, and polite. He also completes his assigned work each day. Teachers note that he is a dedicated art student who often produces work that goes beyond the standard curriculum requirements.

Wells named Michael Hendrix as his favorite teacher. Wells credited Hendrix with providing encouragement and support. The teacher helped Wells recognize his own worth by challenging him academically. More information about the district’s recognition programs is available on the LCSD1 website.
