Technology Department: Lucas Adams

Lucas Adams is the Tech Department Student of the Month. Lucas has become a leader in our Intro to Computer Coding Class by showing up prepared everyday and doing his best. Whenever he comes across a concept that he doesn’t get right away, he always puts in extra practice to make sure he understands. Lucas is also quick to help classmates when needed. Congrats Lucas and keep up the good work.

Math Department: Makaelynn Harris

Makaelyn is always a diligent math student. She asks questions and comes prepared every day. Makaelyn is also friendly and willing to work with others.

Independent Studies: Destiny Rosenwirth

Destiny is very talented and a good student and always friendly and cheerful. But what really has made her stand out is her strength. No, she can’t bench 300 pounds or anything like that, but she has an inner strength that comes from somewhere. No matter what gets thrown her way, she manages to get right back up and go. You go girl.

Hannah is very deserving of the Ag department student of the month. Hannah has been a part of the ag department for 4 years, she has taken numerous ag classes. She is also a leader in our FFA chapter. Last year she served as the chapter historian and this year she is serving as the chapter secretary.

I am so proud of her and her accomplishments.
