We are pleased to announce Addy Sepanski as the October Student of the Month! She is in the Automotive Technology program.
Also we are starting something new to honor and recognize all students who are nominated for Student of the Month. It is our Director's List. Here's a little more information on how this works. Each teacher has the opportunity to nominate a student each month to be considered for Student of the Month. The nomination form includes a brief reason why the teacher is nominating that student. The nominations are then reviewed by Mr. Miller and the leadership team and a selection is made for Student of the Month. Beginning next month the Director's List will be published earlier in the month to give all students a chance to be recognized before the Student of the Month is announce!
