Bode Conrad, son of Chris and Jessica Conrad, is a 2025 graduating senior at Meadow Heights. During his high school career, Conrad has been a part of BETA and FFA. Conrad’s favorite part of FFA has been “getting out of school for field trips and the food at meetings.” Just like FFA, Conrad also enjoys attending the BETA meetings due to the food that is often present. Conrad's favorite part about highschool has been being able to see his friends everyday.

After graduation, Conrad plans on joining the union, with hopes of running and operating heavy equipment.

While not at school, Conrad works at Newell Trucking in Friedheim. His job requires him to wash and service trucks while also tending to their farm. You can often find him feeding cows, fixing fences and baling hay.

In his free time, Conrad enjoys taking care of his family farm, riding dirt bikes and hanging out with his friends. Braeden Hays, another graduating senior here at Meadow Heights, is one of Conrad’s closest friends. Their friendship can be traced back to their kindergarten days.
