Class of 2025 graduate Fin Kirsch will be attending the University of Montana in Missoula, where he will be majoring in environmental sciences.

Environmental sciences was so enticing for Kirsch because it wasn’t a typical job.

“I chose to major in environmental science because I want to pursue a career in the outdoors industry where I don’t work a 9-5 job in a cubicle,” Kirsch said.

Kirsch felt an instant connection with the University of Montana.

“After visiting the University of Montana in Missoula, I knew in my heart that it was a place I could thrive in,” Kirsch said.

Sports games and community service were highlights of Kirsch’s high school career.

“Some of my favorite high school memories are Taco Shack and going to cheer on the McCallum men’s basketball team this year,” Kirsch said. “I also really enjoyed the clubs that I was in and the community service that we did in Environmental Knights.”

Teacher James Hutcheson made a large impact on Kirsch throughout his high school career.

“One teacher who helped me tremendously throughout my time at Mac was Mr. Hutcheson,” Kirsch said.

Kirsch’s advice to incoming freshmen is to be open to trying new things and meeting new people.

“Be open to meeting as many people as possible and also take advantage of all the opportunities within clubs and extracurriculars,” Kirsch said.
