-National Honor Society 2008 & 2009 historian Jonathan talks about the importance of the arts in his life, "The arts have played a huge role in my life. As a child, I loved to draw. Drawing filled my free time and I rarely tired of the worlds I could create with my pencil. Drama and acting have been an essential part of my life as well. I have always been a bit dramatic and that drama translated easily into acting. It is rather hard to define where my acting ends and my life begins. Singing came along later. I have been blessed with a wonderful voice (or so they tell me). I sing in the house when no one is around and in public. Both are equally enjoyable. Drawing, acting, and singing play major roles in my life. I like to think of them as characters on the stage of my life."
Holdrege High School - Arts Specialist - Christy Kosmicki states, "Jonathan Larson is a contemporary Renaissance Man. He excels in every aspect of his rigorous academic schedule; math, science, French, and history, but it is evident that the arts is where Jonathan’s passion lies. As noted in his résumé, he is equally gifted in music, theater and the visual arts. Jonathan loves every aspect of problem solving, is an excellent communicator and always works to his potential. It is always evident that he invests every part of his being into each of his creative endeavors. It has been a joy to accompany Jonathan on his creative journey in high school and I can’t wait to see what he will accomplish at the post-secondary level."
