Jonathan Chiles, a senior at PV, is recognized as an honors student who excels in swimming, as he is ranked in the top 50 swimmers of Iowa and was appointed as the 2019-20 captain of the PV Men’s Swimming team. He now works as a lifeguard at our local YMCA and hopes to continue swimming in college. Currently, Chiles is undecided on what college or major he wants to pursue, but engineering or physics (some of his favorite classes) are close to the top. Outside of school, he loves to spend time with his friends, play video games and play Dungeons and Dragons. His favorite snack is a gluten-free protein bar.
