💚🖤 Crest Ridge Senior Spotlight🖤💚
Jacob Hunsburger
👓 Favorite High School Memory:
Jacob’s favorite high school memory was walking into class one day in 10th grade with glasses and finally being able to see his classmates and read the whiteboard clearly. He said everyone looked at him like he was some kind of alien when they saw him!
🏆 Activities & Involvement:
Jacob was involved in FBLA and helped around the shop occasionally during the summers.
⭐ Biggest Influence at Crest Ridge:
Mrs. Russell helped Jacob become a more outgoing person and made it easier for him to talk to people. Mr. Werges helped him develop more professionalism and become more accountable.
💬 Advice to Younger Cougars:
“Stay on top of your work. Once you start getting behind, it gets harder to get back in front of it. Always put more work into stuff than you probably need to, and if you’re not sure if you’re going to college, get good grades anyway just in case.”
🎓 Plans After Graduation:
Jacob plans to work at Enersys or Tyson’s for a short period of time before joining the Army under a WOFT contract.
🔮 Where He Sees Himself in 10 Years:
Jacob hopes to have a job he likes, be financially stable, spend time regularly with his family, and be happy with where he is in life.
🏍️ Fun Fact:
Jacob enjoys riding his motorcycle around KC as a hobby.
💭 A Saying That Inspires Him:
“Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.” — Warren Buffett

Our Crest Ridge High School seniors (and junior) had a blast today at State Fair Community College. They explored the entire Agriculture department, as well as Automotive, Welding, Construction, and more. RootED work at its finest!
This week, FBLA launched a new mentorship program called Rising Stars, where high school FBLA members are partnering with 6th graders to smooth the transition into middle school! High schoolers will be checking in with their partners twice a month to offer guidance, support and organization as 6th graders learn to adapt to what can sometimes be an overwhelming new schedule. Students got right to work getting to know their partners and organizing lockers! Thank you Mrs Duffy for organizing this fantastic new program that will benefit everyone involved and continue building the Culture of Excellence we strive for here at Crest Ridge!
Dear Crest Ridge Families!
Please remember that SCHOOL IS IN SESSION on Monday, September 28, 2026! We look forward to seeing everyone. Have a great weekend!
