When you hear the name Elijah Provost, the first words that might come to mind are smart and athletic. Eli is one of the top students in the senior class and puts school before anything else. He competed in State Knowledge Bowl this year in Brainerd at Cragun’s Resort as part of the BB Mountaineers who took 20th place. Provost also competes in golf for the school and is on the varsity team. When he's not working on the course in the summer, he is out on the course playing and getting better at his game.
Provost challenges himself by taking college classes and doing well in them. He proves he is capable of many things by taking these classes and maintaining a 3.9 GPA while participating in golf. This is a hard thing to do since golf misses a lot of school and involves a lot of making up assignments.
“Golf is a lot of fun and although it makes participation in school more difficult, I think it is worth it because golf teaches a lot of life lessons and we make a lot of lasting memories,” said Provost.
Provost plans to go to North Dakota State University to major in Criminal Justice and likely pursue law school after graduation there. When asked why he is interested in this field he replied, “I have great respect for police officers and all law enforcement personnel and what they do, so I guess I just want to make a difference.”
