Despite the ups and downs, Keeley Kreft has made Senior year extremely special.

With less than 50 days to graduation, Keeley is excited to continue making memories at Sartell High School with the people she enjoys most. While senior year can be challenging, Keeley has learned to overcome the ups and downs that come with being a high school senior.
This year has given Keeley unforgettable memories, including getting her first tattoo, touring Penn State’s beautiful campus, the last football games under the Friday night lights, the last homecoming week, the last winter formal with all of her closest friends, and many more. Senior year still has track season, graduation, the senior lock-in, and the senior sunset as opportunities to make many more memories before the school year ends!
