Wolf Point High School Osa Umphreys has made a smooth transition to living in northeastern Montana after moving from Lincoln, Neb.

“It’s definitely different. Wolf Point is much smaller,” Umphreys said. “But the areas do have a few similarities.”

He noted that he walked everywhere in Lincoln, and everything in Wolf Point is within walking distance.

Umphreys has enjoyed his time with Wolf Point’s FFA and golf programs.

His favorite class is English with instructor Douglas Evans.

When asked to select his favorite teacher, Umphreys picked Evans.

After graduating from high school, Umphreys plans to enlist in the National Guard so he can attend college in the future.

He plans to manage in some business field, maybe business marketing.

He doesn’t restrict himself by saying there’s a particular area that he wants to live in.

“I feel like I can go anywhere if I put my mind to it,” Umphreys said. “I will to wherever opportunities are.”
