It’s been quite a year for Steelville’s Garrett Marshall. He was recently named the valedictorian of the Cardinals’ 2019 class and earlier this year he was accepted into the U.S. Military Academy at Westpoint, New York. After a recent trip to Chicago and Wrigley Field, Marshall is enjoying settling his nerves…

Marshall tells us his mother recently found a note that he wrote when he was 12 years old, where he listed three goals; 1. to become the valedictorian of Steelville High, 2. to compete in sports after high school and 3. to meet Yadier Molina. He says his grandfather introduced the idea of trying to become a cadet…

During his commencement speech Marshall thanked the entire Steelville community…

Marshall says he may study engineering at Westpoint. He wants to go to ranger school and acquire his airborne tab.

Steelville salutatorian Fair Bair will attend Ozark Tech in Springfield and study nursing.
