Isaac Wood - 2025

Isaac Wood - 2025
We are proud to announce that the 2025 recipient of the Rob Russell Memorial Scholarship is Isaac Wood, a remarkable graduate of Cody High School. Isaac distinguished himself as a talented and dedicated member of the CHS Choir, earning selection to All-State Choir, All-State Jazz Choir, and was selected for the Northwest Honor Choir, which recognizes the top students from across six states. Beyond his musical achievements, Isaac was a valued member of the CHS soccer, cross-country, tennis and Swim teams. In swimming, Isaac chose to compete in the 500 freestyle, which required strict and grueling practices. Our selection committee learned how Isaac’s commitment to the team, hard work, perseverance and positivity motivated his teammates and under-classmen. He became a role model that will impact the team for years to come. Academically, Isaac consistently challenged himself by taking advanced classes and graduated with an impressive 3.87 GPA. What truly sets Isaac apart – and what we most admired in selecting him for this scholarship is his genuine kindness, positivity, impeccable sportsmanship, and unwavering support for those around him. Isaac motivated his teammates and classmates simply by being himself. Isaac will pursue a degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Wyoming.

Encouraging Others by Modeling Integrity, Sincerity, Humbleness and Great Success

In awarding this scholarship, the selection committee was very mindful to choose a recipient who embodies respect for others, kindness and integrity, as Rob did. Micah has certainly demonstrated that he has the qualities along with the drive to succeed in whatever he puts his mind to. We are so honored to be a small part of what we predict will be very a successful career. He will most definitely be a huge contribution to society.

A huge Thank You goes out to all of our Donors for making this possible!
