From running to the sink to fill up the water jug for the football game, to figuring out each name of every athlete for the sports section in the yearbook in 3060N, to pulling her hair out while stressing over prom nominations. This is Robbi Boggess, a committed, and accomplished East High School senior.

“Robbi is everywhere,” Community Coordinator Jill Padget said.

Boggess has done her best to be as involved in as many groups and activities as she can to be an outstanding Scarlet. She’s involved in a number of activities and holds leadership postions within these groups such as Yearbook Sports Editor, Co-editor in Chief in Newspaper, Ambassadors President, Varsity Football manager and many more. To staff and students Boggess’s involvement at East has made her grow into the leader and inspire others to grow into the leader she has become.

“Robbi has impacted East by being a leader within her senior class. She is always willing to lend a hand and wants everything at East to be the best it can be. East is a better place because of her desire to be involved and her willingness to work hard,” counselor Lauren Brandt Erickson said.

If you have ever met Boggess, you would feel the vibes that she sends off to every person around her. Others say she has impacted East by her willingness to help staff and students. She is very approachable and goes above and beyond to transform East to be a comfortable, welcoming environment.

“Robbi is in the greatest sense of the word a servant leader and to me this is the greatest type of leader anyone could ever be. She absolutely leads by serving others so selflessly,” Assistant Football Coach John Walling said.

Boggess’s outgoing personality has built her into a prevalent leader in and out of East High School. Many can express how they think Boggess has left her mark but before she leaves East she plans to leave her mark on the East High community.

“Leaving your mark isn’t necessarily everyone remembering you, but when you look back on East High and think about all the good that you have done, and all the lives that you were a part of. I think leaving your mark is a self-thing, not what everyone else remembers,” Boggess said.

In Boggess’s eyes she is not sure how she wants to leave her mark yet but after communicating with students and teachers, they could easily explain the mark they thought she has left during her time at East High. Some believe she has left her mark through her commitments she has taken on as a senior, her love for East High and the pride she takes in her school which is very apparent in everything she does and says. Others describe her mark being left from her motivation to put East High in positive light in the community.

“I plan on attending the University of Iowa and will be furthering my education in the medical field,” Boggess said.

In a few short months Boggess’s journey at East will come to an end. Then her journey to impact Iowa City will come next. As her adventure will end, East High School will never forget you, the impact you have made on our school and the spunk you bring to everything you do.

“I’m not sure why I have been blessed to have been honored to really meet and get to know Robbi, but I have and am forever great-full and thankful,” Walling said.
