The Few … The Proud … The Wolves.
Coupeville High School alumni Jonathan Partida has made the jump from one pack to another, graduating from Marine Corps boot camp in San Diego.
The 2020 CHS grad, who played multiple sports during his time at the school, now goes into infantry training.
During his time as a Wolf, Partida was part of a unique class which lost many of the traditional senior class events, as the country went through the beginning of the pandemic.
Before COVID seeped into everyday life, he was part of the first CHS football team to post a winning record since 2005.
A receiver and defensive back, Jonathan was joined on the team by younger brother Kevin.
News of Partida’s rise as a Marine has brought joy to family and friends.
“I couldn’t be more proud of him if it was my own son,” said Coupeville Middle School soccer coach Reese Cernick.
His wife, Michelle, couldn’t agree more.
“Jonathan and (my son) Chris were best friends and Jonathan is like an adopted son to us,” she said.
“We love him and are so grateful to have him in our life.”
