Skyview senior David Schmitt embodies the spirit of a driven and well-rounded student while connecting with and giving back to the Felida community. Our February 2025 Young Achiever has spent time supporting the Salmon Creek Lions Club by helping with their Salmon Creek Greenway Trail Cleanup. The club has taken on caring for the trail, focusing on picking up trash, cleaning signs, and removing invasive plants. He has also been expanding his community service and involvement through the Mr. and Ms. Skyview pageant. This pageant helps raise money for critically ill kids through Make-A-Wish-Oregon. Through Mr. and Ms. Skyview, David has sold homemade dog treats and held a community paper shred event, to support the safe disposal of sensitive documents. In school, David’s favorite class is sci-fi literature because his teacher has made learning the material exciting.
David has lived in Felida his entire life, with several generations before him having lived in the area too. He lives with his parents, Steve and Kristin, and their 11-month-old yellow labrador named Mac. When asked what he likes about living in the Pacific Northwest, he said, “It offers an array of seasons” that he can appreciate. He loves Felida’s tight-knit community feel and close proximity to his friends.
In his free time, David enjoys both watching and playing sports, especially football and basketball. He also spends time playing golf, hunting, and fishing. In the wintertime, he is all about hitting the slopes for skiing in the mountains.
As far as future plans, David currently has a strong interest in construction management. He has always been interested in building things and he looks forward to pursuing studies in that field during college.
