As graduation draws near, we’re sitting down with the class of 2023 to talk about their time at Sioux Falls Lutheran School and what the future holds.
Name: Joella Sproles
Accepted to: University of Sioux Falls
Intended field of study: I plan to study business, and possibly minor in art.
How did you decide on a school/field of study?
I want to own my own business like my dad.
What makes USF a good fit for you?
It is a smaller Christian university.
How did you feel when you received the news of your acceptance?
I had a music scholarship before I even got accepted, but I was very happy.
Which classes, programs, and/or faculty at Sioux Falls Lutheran School helped support your interest in your planned field of study?
The reason why I’m choosing entrepreneurial studies is because of my dad, but Mrs. Hoekman does make art so enjoyable, and because of that I would like to either minor in art or take multiple art classes in college.
Are there any other activities that had a significant impact on you during your time at SFLS?
Volleyball and powerlifting; I love working out, and I was able to build closer relationships with people because of these two sports.

Focus on your studies, but also focus on yourself and what God wants for you so you can become a better person, not just for yourself but also for others.
