Jaxon Kelch
a class of 2022 senior to know
I didn’t really get to experience my whole time at Prairie Ridge. Every adult always tells me that it flies by, but I never actually had a chance to feel what it was like to be a high schooler. High school is meant to be good and shape who you are, yet the only thing good was that we can now say, “I guess it could’ve been worse.”
Something that I am most proud of is unable to be said in words. I have successfully earned all of my Automotive Service Excellence Certifications to become master certified so that I can go on to continue working on high-end Porsche race cars and continue my education in Germany-Stuttgart. On top of that amazing achievement, I have also accomplished so many personal goals being that I have created a name for myself and found the best place for me to succeed. I am with people I love to work with and get to do something very special.
My hopes for next year are very interesting because not many people have the opportunity to do what I have been given. Being said I plan on going to McHenry County College to receive my Associate’s degree in Automotive and Business. On top of that, I am going to Germany to further my Porsche education and improve and hone my skills.
Overall I learned a lot and I wouldn’t be the person I am today without saying that my experiences with Prairie Ridge have sculpted me into the person I am today. Thanks, PR.

Wow, Jaxon, you are one amazing grandson. I know you never knew my dad, who would have been your great grandfather, but he would be so proud of you. He loved his cars, his Porsch especially, so you have that in common. I know you will be successful in whatever you do. Just always remember my motto of “think positive”. It definitely will help you get through life. Love you and miss you.
