South Central High School Class of 2022 Biographies

Get to know the South Central High School Class of 2022.

CARTER MOENCH

My name is Carter William Moench, my parents are Robin and Brian Moench. I started kindergarten in Hanna and went to school there until grade 10 when I started in Oyen with the baseball academy.

My years were filled with sports , everything from baseball to basketball and everything in between. In 2018 I was lucky enough to win provincial gold in hockey,baseball and football it was a busy year and included a lot of driving.

With a name like Moench I’ve been called a lot of things but Monk has stuck the last few years.

In the fall, I plan to attend Centennial College in Toronto, taking massage therapy and will continue to play baseball. I hope to be able to use my college years to gain the knowledge to work as a trainer or strength coach or therapist with an athletic team.

JOELLE MUNDT

I am Joelle Hilrey Mundt, daughter of Chandra and Robert Mundt, sister to Baxton. I grew up on a farm 5 minutes outside of Sibbald. I am used to being surrounded by lots of family and animals. At my house, I have around 15 cats and one amazing dog, Katy. My dad raises cows and farms which I have loved being a part of since a young age. My education journey started at the Oyen Public School up until grade 9 and have spent the last three years at South Central High School. I have been Dancing at Wilson School of Dance since I was 4 years old. With the studio, I have been able to compete with various types of dance like tap, jazz, ballet/pointe, and lyrical. Around grade 7, I joined the volleyball team and softball team. Every year since then I have participated in these sports, loving the game but also my teammates. When I was twelve years old, I started playing the guitar. I fell in love with music and it has become a huge passion in my life. Last year I joined 4 H and really enjoyed connecting with my steer. I got to learn a lot as well as make many memories. Next year, I plan to go to University of Alberta, Augustana Campus, and take a Bachelor of Management. After that, I don’t have any specific plans but am hopeful that I will find my passion while attending post-secondary.

SASA JUHAS

My full name is Sasa Juhas. No, I don’t have a middle name. My parents’ names are Vesna Juhas and Miroslav Juhas. I started kindergarten in the city of Sombor, and continued my education at “Dositej Obradović” until my seventh grade. That year I moved to Alsask, Canada and attended eighth and ninth grade at “Westcliffe Composite School”. Following that, I moved to Oyen and finished my last three high school years at “South Central High School”. My sole talent is proficiency in video games. My main interests are history and esports. I like to spend my free time playing video games, watching tv shows and sleeping. Surprisingly, I have a decent bit of nicknames, but the most memorable one is Sashmeister. My most iconic sayings are “rip” when someone delivers me unpleasant news, and “anyway…” when the silence in a conversation gets awkward. My goal for the future is to acquire a geology major, and after that, I will think about what I should do next.

ERIC ELINES

Fellow students, teachers, family and friends, my name is Eric Elines (Double E). My parents are Matt and Shauna Elines and they farm at Big Valley, Alberta where I grew up along with my siblings. I have two sisters, Hannah & Taylor as well as a little brother named Grayson. I was born at a very young age (hahaha) in Stettler AB. I attended Big Valley School for my entire preschool, kindergarten, elementary and junior high school career. Attended WM.E.Hay High School in Stettler for grades 10 and 11. For Grade 12, I made the jump to the Badlands Baseball Academy in Oyen.

I love hunting, fishing, the outdoors and sports! Played organized hockey/baseball ever since I can remember. In Bantam I played baseball with the Castor Raiders. We were the Provincial and Western Canadian Champs in 2019. It was at that time I decided to focus on baseball which led me to the Badlands. I play summer baseball on the Camrose Cougars 18U-AAA team (we won silver in provincials last year)

My plan is to go south of the border this fall where I can continue my baseball career (which will undoubtedly lead me to playing for the Bluejays one day!) and oh yes…..my parents figure I should get a degree in something when I’m down there so they don’t have to support me anymore (hahaha). Class of 2022, party on!

JORDYN DUFFIELD

My name is Jordyn Paige Duffield. I am the third child and oldest daughter of Steven and Stacey Duffield. I began my schooling in Youngstown school, starting in kindergarten until completing grade two. My family then moved closer to Oyen which is when we began our schooling here at Oyen Public School. I then completed grades three to nine and then ten to twelve at South Central High School.

I was fortunate to be born and raised into some type of ranching lifestyle, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I grew up working with cattle, whether it is helping my grandparents on the family farm, going to many brandings in the communities throughout the years, or just working with our own cattle at home. I also really enjoy riding my horse non-competitively. Moving to Oyen has provided me with a wide variety of sports and activities throughout elementary, junior high and high school. I was able to participate in multiple sports including: skating, basketball, volleyball, curling and badminton. I also danced for eight years with Wilson school of dance which allowed me to express myself through music while dancing in many group dances as well as solos.

After completing my grade 12 year I am hoping to Pursue a career in dental hygiene.

VANCE WALKER

Vance John James Walker showed up 3 days late to his own birth with a grin and that set the precedent to all things to come. Proud parents to this main event are Stacie and Dale Walker. 5 years later he became a big brother to his sister Mya. When Vance wasn’t camping, exploring, fishing, dirt biking, quading, hunting, skidooing, fiddling with his truck, farming or hanging with friends, he fit his K-12 education in at Oyen Public and South Central High. Memories are full with family and friends but lunchtimes with the boyz, gym classes and playing on the basketball team for the first time surely stands out. Being late to class was the ritual, if not a pending world record. This seems to fit nicely with his motto of “Everyday is Friday if you make it”. Next year shines bright with Vance hoping to pursue a career in the trades, or maybe even a Doctor.

MADDY LAUGHLIN

Madison Brooke-Lynn Laughlin, also known as Maddy, is the second oldest of four and the eldest daughter of Shelly Laughlin. Her siblings include her older brother Levi, younger sister Ki and younger brother Cooper.

Maddy started her education at the Youngstown School, then moved to SCHS for grades 11 and 12. We are so glad Maddy made the move to South Central; with her big smile and kind heart she fit in immediately.

Maddy enjoys being outside, camping, brandings and riding her horse Ember. She’s smart, she’s athletic and she’s fun! Maddy has always enjoyed dance and in 2015 she joined her second family at Tara’s Academy of Dance in Consort. From the large group productions to the small groups, duets and solos, her passion and love of dance grew. In 2016 when her younger brother Cooper sadly passed away, dancing and her dance family were huge supporters and remain so to this day.

After high school, Maddy plans to go to the University of Saskatchewan where she is accepted into their Nursing Program. Because she is so great with children, it’s no surprise that she will specialize in Pediatrics. She’s both excited and grateful to be starting a rewarding career that helps others. Maddy cannot wait to start the next chapter of her life and wants to thank her friends and family (especially her mom) for being so supportive.

NICOLE BODNARUK

I am Nicole Hannah Bodnaruk, daughter to Mona Davidson and Paul Bodnaruk. I was born December 11, 2004 in Oyen Alberta. I was raised on a ranch 30 minutes South of Oyen in a locality called Cappon. Growing up, some of my best memories came from the rush of working cattle or attempting to help my dad fix equipment while clearly not knowing what I was doing. Throughout my years I have played many sports, but softball and volleyball were the two I have really enjoyed and stuck with. My educational journey started at the Oyen Public School where I attended from Kindergarten to grade 9. From there, I transferred over to South Central High. Being raised in a rural area surrounded by cattle and grain, has led me to find a passion in the agricultural sector, one in which I would like to pursue further in post secondary. Next year I plan on attending the University of Alberta in Edmonton, to take my Bachelors of Science in Agriculture with a major in Animal Science, after completing I would like to continue my education and enter the field of Veterinary Medicine.

RYLEY DZIATKEWICH

Hi! My name is Ryley Paige Dziatkewich or “Rye” for short. I joined the world of the living on May 12 of 2004, much to my older sister’s dismay. I am the second daughter and youngest child of Shane and Tera Dziatkewich. I started my educational journey by attending preschool at OPS, where I continued until grade 9. For the next 3 years I attended SCHS where I am now completing my schooling. My hobbies include horseback riding/barrel racing, volleyball, and snowboarding. I began riding horses before I could walk. I’ve been raised with them and have developed a passion from an early age. I have been playing school volleyball for 6 years, as well as club for 4 of those years. I just recently began snowboarding over the past few years but I have quickly developed a passion for it, no matter how many times I faceplant. My favorite school memory is any science class with Mr.Harrison. Bio 30 stood out, specifically the sheep brain dissection where Trey and Jake proceeded to cut the brain into tiny pieces until they believed it resembled shredded chicken. As a result, I have excluded chicken from my diet indefinitely. After graduating I plan on attending the University of Alberta and taking the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology in hopes of continuing onto sports medicine.

ADAM GOLBY

My name is Adam Golby, my home is in Coronation, Alberta but I have lived in Oyen for the past three years. My parents are Lyle and Delayne and I have two siblings, Jenna and Logan. I have lived with my billet family for the past three years, Paul and Jennifer Dumanowski and their boys Dylan, Dryden and Cayden.

I started kindergarten in Coronation School and attended there until the end of grade 9. Growing up in Coronation was fun, I lived close to the school, ball diamonds, arena and swimming pool and spent all of my time at these places. At the end of grade 9, I decided that I wanted to focus solely on baseball. I joined the Badlands Baseball Academy three years ago and have been at SCHS for grades 10-12. Moving to Oyen was a great decision, I have made many new friends, and have been able to play baseball fulltime. My future plans are to take business at Indian Hills Community College and continue to play baseball in Centerville, Iowa.

RHETT TATTRIE

Hi, I am Rhett Carter Tattrie, I was born April 3, 2004, to Troy and Shelli Tattrie. I am the youngest of four boys. From a young age, my life has totally evolved around rodeo and the western way of life. Whether it was following my dad around to rodeos or ranching, I have always been involved. I followed in the footsteps of my brothers Brody and Dixon by riding steers. They both continued on to riding bulls. Dixon is still competing in bull riding and is also riding saddle bronc. I never took up riding bulls, however I took a different direction and in 2018 started team roping and then in 2019 started calf roping. I wanted to take another step and go back to the bucking chutes, so I followed in the footsteps of my dad by getting on bareback horses. In the spring of 2021, I entered my first rodeo in the bareback and somehow came out of it with my first ever bareback champion buckle. Ever since, my high school career has been filled with High School rodeo and basketball. For my fourth and final year of highschool rodeo I decided to become the student president of district 2 for Alberta High School Rodeo. I attended Youngstown School from kindergarten to grade 11. I then had to take English 20 over the summer of 2021 through Hope Christian Online academy to be able to transfer to South Central high school to take my final high school courses.

ELIZABETH CHUDLEIGH

My name is Elizabeth Gail Chudleigh, but my family and friends call me Liz or Lizzy. I am the oldest child to Kristy and the late Stewart Chudleigh. I have a younger sister, Jillian even though everyone thinks we are twins but in my opinion, I know I am the favorite child! I know my dad will always be looking down on all three of us girls. I was born on January 26, 2004, in Calgary Alberta. I have lived on a farm 10 minutes outside of Bindloss for eighteen years. I am very fortunate to grow up on a farm I have loved since a little girl. It allows me to spend time with my dog, Gunner. I attended Warren Peers School in Acadia Valley from kindergarten to grade nine and have been at South Central High School from grade ten to twelve. I enjoy dancing and playing volleyball. I have danced for a total of fourteen years, it is something I am very passionate about. In the summer I also enjoy camping with my family, paddle boarding, and kayaking. We always have a blast with each other. In the fall, I plan on taking a Bachelor Health and Physical Education at Mount Royal University in Calgary. Then do some more schooling for the end goal of going into physiotherapy.

BENJAMIN GOUTHRO

My name is Benjamin Gouthro and I am graduating. I came to Oyen this September to develop as a baseball player and a person. I came from Bridgewater, Nova Scotia from a much larger school of roughly a thousand. I’ve loved baseball since I was a child and thought that the opportunities here were some that very few get to experience. I’m the youngest in my family with an older sister and my parents are Scott and Bettina. I enjoy Music, Hockey and Baseball. I’ve graduated from several schools, Pentz Elementary, Hebbville Academy, and nearly Park View Education Centre; But my experience at South Central Highschool is one I’ll never forget. My future plans are to go to university to study business in Nova Scotia. I’d like to thank my parents, friends and teachers in any fashion for helping me become the best version of myself. I plan to pursue business at post-seconday in the fall.

BRANDON WENTZELL

Hi, my name is Brandon Wentzell, I have spent the last two years at South Central High school but I started my education in Bridgewater Nova Scotia. I started playing baseball when I was 3 years old and haven’t stopped since, which is what brought me to Oyen and why I will continue my education next year in New York at Genesee Community College. My parents, Kelly and Andy, along with my 2 older sisters Kristen and Kaitlyn have been my biggest supporters. We were lucky to grow up with parents who supported whatever dreams or goals we have in life. Not only did my parents help support my goals, but my dad helped to guide a lot of my pastimes. Like him, I found a love in firefighting and carpentry. I have been a member of the fire department in my hometown since I was 13 years old. Being a member taught me the importance of responsibility and being a part of a team who relies on each other showed me how important respect and being dependable. In the future I hope to pursue a career in fire fighting or law enforcement, but for right now I plan to continue to play the game I love - baseball. I am so thankful for all the families that have taken in me, the teachers who have taught me the past 2 years, the friends I have made here in Oyen and the teammates I will never forget.

TYLER THOMPSON

My name is Tyler Joseph Thompson, I was raised by my mother Kate and my father Eric. I’m also lucky enough to have another dad Chris which may all be confusing but it’s a very long story. I started school in Medicine Hat up until grade 4, I then moved to Moosomin, Saskatchewan up until grade 10 and finally out here to Oyen for grade 11 & 12. I’m a man of many talents, one being my elite skill level in fortnite. Baseball is also a big part of my life since I moved out here to pursue my dream. I like to hang out with my billet brothers and my friends, chop a couple laps and play some ping pong. Most people around town know me as Timmy, but the real homies call me Tight Pants Timmy. After I graduate high school I plan to study Computer Science at Jefferson Community College in Watertown, New York. To further my education and to play baseball at the collegiate level and later move on to bigger and better things. Chow for now high school.

TREY MARTIN

My name is Trey Martin, I was born September 29, 2004 to Kathy and Trent Martin. I attended Assumption R.C. School from kindergarten to grade 6, Oyen Public School grades 7 through 9 and then off to SCHS for grades 10 through 12.

Over the years I have enjoyed playing baseball and hockey. Fortunately, most years there was no team here for me, so I had to start traveling north to Coronation for baseball and the 3Cs for hockey. I played with the Coronation Royals provincial baseball team winning a few provincial championships. With the 3Cs Coyotes hockey team we have brought home a few of the league banners. I have made many friends and met a lot of people traveling around creating many fun memories.

Other things I enjoy are golfing, hunting, camping, fishing, volleyball, playing the guitar and hanging out with friends.

One of my favorite school memories would have to be grade 10 lunch breaks.

Some of my favorite sayings are “it is what it is”; “sorry I’m late….”; “I had to chase after my dog…”

I plan to attend Lethbridge College in the fall for the Power Lineman Technician Apprenticeship program.
