Pioneer Academy Student Highlight: Keegan Castberg
Pioneer Academy senior Keegan Castberg continues to excel despite current and past hardships. Though COVID 19 continues to change what “normal” is and challenges our students to succeed under ever changing rules, Keegan has learned how push through the difficult times.
Losing his mother at an early age forced him to adapt to new conditions and with the support of his grandmother and his brother he found his inner strength to be a success when everything seemed to be conspiring against him. Keegan struggled at a larger high school, then transferred to Pioneer.
He developed strong relationships with his new teachers and he credits them for giving him an inspiration to learn again.
Keegan, who spends his spare time at the gym or hiking around Lake Tahoe and Fallen Leaf or just listening to some good music, is finishing his senior year as a Jumpstart student taking courses at Western Nevada College.
He plans to pursue a major in creative writing and minor in photography. His goal is to write screenplays and travel the world. We wish Keegan the best as he writes his own story of success.
