He is a 1979 Junction City High School graduate, who attended Harvard after high school. “He’s excited to revisit his past. He said he had a lot of good stories to share with our teachers about how he got where he is today.”

Schlichting attended school in USD 475 all the way from Kindergarten through the 12th grade. He attended Milford Elementary School.
